FINCAns teaching at NEON School

FINCAns actively participate in teaching of observational astronomy both nationally and internationally. Currently two FINCAns, Marco Berton and Elina Lindfors, are teaching in EU funded OPTICON network NEON school in Bulgarian National Observatory in Rozhen. There are 18 students from different European institutes participating. The school is hands-on optical astronomy school. The students get to plan their observations, perform them onsite and analyze the data. The groups tutored by the FINCAns observed a spectrum of a supernova candidate, which turned out to be actually cataclysmic variable: http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=13117
