1200th comet discovery of SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft was found by a Chinese amateur astronomer, Bo Zhou. The SOHO No.1200 was a tiny, diffuse, and very faint object. It’s detected in images taken with the spacecraft’s LASCO C2 coronagraph which he downloaded.
From this, we know that we don’t have to own a telescope to do researches or findings. There are quite a number of “virtual telescope” among the internet. I will try to collect as much as possible to benefit those who can’t afford to buy a research grade telescope.
I will create a page of the collection and more virtual telescopes will be added.
