Collaborators, Telescopes, & Equipment
MicroFUN would not be possible without the considerable efforts of
astronomers on 5 continents contributing observations and data
reduction expertise, and willing to share their data with the community
as soon as we reduce it.
Below is a listing of the current MicroFUN Collaborators and the
Telescopes and Equipment we are using.
