NASA’s Astrophoto Challenge invites you to try out your image-processing skills in two ways: You may use the raw data from a space-based telescope or capture new telescope data with the MicroObservatory Robotic Telescope Network. Next, you’ll use the JS9-4L tool to process the image. Enter either challenge – or both – and the MicroObservatory and NASA's Universe of Learning team could select your work as a standout entry for feedback from NASA scientists!
Visit the NASA’s Astrophoto Challenges page for detailed instructions to enter either challenge.
