"Monthy Live Show" Mode

The "Live Shows" consist of “shared astronomical observations” inspired by a given theme. The shows are live and interactive managed by the professional staff of the Virtual Telescope, with each show holding a capacity of 20 participants.  Each live show is given as a teleconference   using software like Skype or MSN Messenger to talk, while live images will be displayed on the Virtual Telescope website. Participants can ask for the images they like once the show is finished.

The enviromental parameters are monitored by the supervisor, who eventually decides to close the observatory in case of bad weather: in this case, if the show lasted less than the half of the scheduled duration, no costs are charged, otherwise the show is considered properly concluded.

The observatory could not be made available at the last minute because of important astrophysical event: some variable star outbursts, transient pheanomena, unusual cometary activity, bright near-Earth Objects are Targers of Opportunity (ToO) for the Observatory.
