"I’m working on the boundary between optical imaging and history… physics and history are the two things that I love."
Delweddu 3-Lliw
Wedi’i anelu at ddisgyblion 11-16 oed mae’r gweithgaredd hwn yn rhoi cyfle i’r disgyblion astudio sut mae delweddau hidlo yn cyfuno i greu delweddau lliw a hefyd, drwy ddefnyddio meddalwedd seryddol, cynhyrchu delweddau 3-lliw o wrthrych seryddol eu hunain.

3-Colour Imaging
Aimed at pupils aged 11-16, this workshop provides students with an opportunity to use astronomical software, study how filtered images combine to make coloured images and allows the students to have a go creating their own 3-colour images of astronomical objects.
You can download the individual files needed for this activity below, or this zip file (80mb) contains them all.
Using LTImage
The NSO has created some easy to use software to help you view the images you get back from the Liverpool Telescope (LT). This image processing tool also lets you do real science, analysing the images. It is called LTImage.

Astronomers take images with telescopes because they want to use them to do research in science. They need to be able to make measurements on these images. These could be the brightness of a star or the exact position of a planet.
