Michael Kran is an amateur astronomer. As a fourth grader, he first saw Saturn, a stunning gem of a planet, through an eight-inch refractor. From that moment forward, he has had a love of observation. Forty years later, Michael has become passionate about the use of real-time, remote, robotic telescopes in creating educational curriculum for schools and colleges. The potential to expand the range of observations made through the use of remote, robotic scopes located in a number of dark locations in different time zones has only begun to be tapped. Michael Kran would also like to see real-time, local robotic scopes used to create live, digital astrophotography shows for the public to augment the public viewing nights at our nation's science museums.
