ILOA Galaxy Imaging Program with LUT
Spiral Galaxy M101
*This observation was made at the very edge of the telescope's capabilities. The target
object, M101, was barely within the available sky coverage of LUT and therefore had to be
captured at the earliest possible point in the Lunar day causing noticeable stray light and
power supply stability issues.

Final Technical and Cultural Training on Mauna Kea for Women Astronomers
Destined for Moon South Pole Astronomy and Science Education with Aloha
General Education – for primary, secondary higher, and highest
education: Knowledge, understanding of humanity’s place in the
Universe – our Milky Way Galaxy occupies a mid-position domain
between Solar System finiteness and Cosmos infinity
Higher Education: Astrophysics / Astronomy – Galaxy studies
internationally are of increasing interest and value; study of our
local stellar neighborhood for familiarity; center / central 10
parsecs with supermassive black hole is most dynamic region of
Milky Way
History of Human Civilization / Archaeoastronomy
NASA, JAXA, ISRO CNSA, RSA, CSA, KARI, ESA, SEASA, World
Space Agencies – 21st Century Program and Policy Development
Advance through Galaxy understanding
Galacticity – may be as important for the 21st Century, as is
Relativity to 20th
, and Electricity to the 19th
Why Galaxy Education, Consciousness &
Awareness Are Important for the 21st Century:
