Have a problem with your Liverpool Telescope observation image? Hopefully here we can let you know what's going on! 

The Liverpool Telescope has a number of sky cameras (or SkyCams) that can take wide field photos whilst the telescope is observing. The current SkyCam system has 3 cameras:

The NSO has created some easy to use software to help you view the images you get back from the Liverpool Telescope (LT). This image processing tool also lets you do real science, analysing the images. It is called LTImage.

The Liverpool Telescope is one of the largest robotic telescopes in the world. It was designed and built by astronomers at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). It is still managed by the team at LJMU. A robotic telescope is designed to run without the need for anyone to be on site. Each night the telescope begins to observe the sky on its own. It uses instructions sent to it during the day from the UK.

Many people think of the night sky as a peaceful and unchanging place. In fact the Universe is place which is always moving, and always changing. Sometimes these changes are quick and dramatic.

Astronomers use the Liverpool Telescope (also called the LT) to study the Universe. Young people all over the world also use it through the National Schools' Observatory.
