The Annie Maunder Astrographic Telescope (AMAT) officially had its first light in June 2018 at the Royal Observatory, making Greenwich a working astronomical observatory for the first time in 60 years. Named after the famous Irish astronomer and mathematician who worked as a ‘lady computer’ at the Observatory, the purpose of the AMAT is to communicate astronomy to schools and the public alike using astrophotography as well as tours and live streams that allow people to ask the astronomers direct questions. AMAT consists of a suite of four telescopes that can image everything from high resolution images of Solar System objects (e.g. the Sun, Moon and planets) to distant nebulae and galaxies at different wavelengths. These images will also be used to support astrophysics research and planning is in progress for developing astrophysics research projects for undergraduates.
