Contribute to the Hunting Outbursting Young Stars (HOYS) project using time we have been allocated on the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) global network of telescopes. Amateurs without access to suitable equipment can use the LCO telescopes to gather data and get involved in analysis of young star and planet forming regions.

If eligible, you will receive training on all aspects of the project including setting up your observations on the LCO telescopes, interacting with the images and analysing light curves.

If you are interested in this unique opportunity then please get in touch through our website: https://hoys.space/lco-project

HOYS is a citizen science project which works with amateur astronomers to provide observational data for our research into star and planet formation. We have been selected as a Global Sky Partner of the Las Cumbres Observatory for the next year.
