What is S.H.A.R.E?
In early 1998 the North Shore Amateur Astronomy Club (NSAAC) located in Groveland, MA, developed a system for remotely viewing the night sky using “off the shelf” components. The S.H.A.R.E (System for Handicap Accessibility, Recreation, and Education) is a fully portable real-time video astronomy system, including an 8″ f6.3 Meade LX200 telescope, an Astrovid 2000 video camera, and a host of peripheral equipment. This system enables audiences to observe real time images of the sun, moon, planets, stars, clusters, galaxies, and nebulae from the comfort of a heated, handicap accessible classroom, lecture hall, or auditorium.The system was financed through Grants from the G.E. Employees Good Neighbor Fund, Osram/Sylvania, Lucent Technologies, Inc., The Marsh & McLennan Companies, A.W. Chesterton Company, General Mills, and Nelson Industries.
