Astronomical observatories established as part of activities at the Silesian University of Technology included initially three units. These were the observatory in Pyskowice (night observations), in the village of Kotulin (daytime solar observations), and the remote observatory in Otivar (Spain, in collaboration with ScopeDome). However, now in the SUTO network, we collaborate with other observatories with various observing instruments. The mission of SUTO network is to combine the capabilities of small observatories for the purpose of big astronomical projects and undertakings. For observatories connected in SUTO, we perform optimized planning, image data processing, and distribution of results to interested researchers so that the scientific outcome is maximized. As engineers, we also specialize in image processing, data reduction, and opto/electro/mechanical solutions for astronomical purposes. We encourage you to cooperate with us and join the SUTO telescopes network!

Certificate of Attendance - MCH23

We are delighted to announce that Adam Dustor, a member of the Silesian University of Technology Observatories team, recently attended the "International Workshop on Machine Learning and Computer Vision in Heliophysics 2023" in Sofia, Bulgaria. This hybrid interdisciplinary workshop, held from April 19 to 21, 2023, focused on the applications of Computer Vision and Machine/Deep Learning techniques to heliophysics research and forecasting frameworks. The workshop also explored the integration of these techniques into modeling efforts of solar and heliospheric phenomena. Adam received a certificate of attendance for his participation in this informative event, which will undoubtedly help to enhance our observatory's research in the field of heliophysics. Congratulations, Adam!

Annother milestone in exoplanet observations by SUTO

Another milestone has been reached in our observations of exoplanet transit. The silver medal for >100 observations has been granted to as from the ExoClock project. The certificate is co-signed by the PI of the Ariel consortium mission Giovanna Tinetti. We hope to keep this improtant international collaboration active throughout the whole Ariel mission planned to start on 2029. We are excited to be a part of exploring mission which will deeply investigate distant worlds in the Universe.
