One of the best
ways to advertise the observatory to the public is by showing superb astronomical
images obtained at the telescopes. For this reason at ING we have started
to collect astonishing images of celestial objects which are then made available
on the web. Full credit is given to the observers and the authors of the
images.
The images are offered as part of several collections which can be found
at http://www.ing.iac.es/PR/images_index.html.
Here you will also find information on how to participate in this exciting
project.
On the following page we show a recent image of M42 and M43 obtained using
the Wide Field Camera on the INT. Such an image is already part of our PR
collections of images. Credit: Simon Tulloch (ING) and Nik Szymanek (Univ.
