| * **Training sessions for the optical telescopes: ** The optical telescopes can be used by anyone with a valid telescope diploma. First-year students can obtain such a diploma as part of the 'observational astronomy' course, and this diploma is valid for one year. To update the diploma, students need to refresh their diploma by attending one of the official telescope training sessions, held four times a year. Please note that these telescope training sessions are also suitable for department members who want to brush up on their telescope skills. During the session (1:30 - 2:00h) we review how to safely operate the domes and both telescopes, using the manual control and the computer. We setup the 20cm telescope for solar observations, and point the 35cm to the Erasmus building. We also comment on a few interesting facts you can use when guiding people to the telescopes. In addition, and only if there is interest, we show how to use the CCD (extra 01:30h). | * **Training sessions for the optical telescopes: ** The optical telescopes can be used by anyone with a valid telescope diploma.
