As part of the popularization of astronomy, the MRT is used for astrophotography of objects in the distant universe. Throughout the year, photographs are published on social networks and on the websites of the Jihlava Astronomical Society and the Museum of Vysočina in Jihlava. Each photograph is accompanied by an educational text about the object and details on how the image was captured.
The telescope is also used to teach astrophotography to children and young people at the Astronomy Camp, the autumn and spring astronomy camps, and the astronomy club of the Museum of Vysočina in Jihlava throughout the year. The option of remote connection greatly facilitates preparation and logistics for organizing such events. In the near future, workshops or webinars for the public will also be organized, making it possible to participate even late at night from the comfort of home.
Photographs are taken either in true colors using LRGB filters or in special palettes (e.g., the Hubble palette) through narrow-band H-alpha, OIII, and SII filters. Image processing takes place in the PixInsight program, which participants at the Astronomy Camp, the Autumn Astronomy Camp, and other events learn to use.
