The ArAS Mobile Observatory ArAS MO

The ArAS Mobile Observatory aims to develop the technical and professional skills in observational astronomy for students and professors in different countries in the MENA region (especially those who do not have access to a professional telescope).

ArAS Mobile Observatory (ArAS MO) will allow us to achieve the three following goals:

(i) to train students and professors in astronomy to do professional observations in astronomy; 

(ii) to use data obtained with the 20-inch telescope for original research projects in astronomy;

(iii) to exploit the mobile observatory for the site testing (i.e., the study of different potential sites for future ground-based observatories).
