Observing Highlights of Tempel 1
A few selected best images from the telescopes that are observing Tempel 1

Live Feed from the Kitt Peak National Observatory
The feed will consist of still images of the distant comet, and a frequently updated movie assembled from the individual frames. Each frame will consist of a 30-second exposure taken with an electronic CCD imager attached to the 20-inch Ritchey-Chretien telescope in the Kitt Peak Visitor Center observatory.

Live Feed from the Mauna Kea Observatories
Mauna Kea promises near-real-time images captured through a Celestron CGE 11-inch telescope.

Live Feed from the Charles Sturt University Remote Telescope, Bathurst, NSW, Australia
The CSU Remote Telescope will web-cast the mission as the probe impacts with the Tempel 1 comet. One week from impact on Monday 4th July, 2005 we will web-cast images from the end of nautical twilight (when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon approximately 1 hour after sunset) until the comet becomes too low to observe in the western sky around midnight. We will be able to see the comet approximately 2 hours after the impact.

Live Feed from the Carl Sagan Observatory, Sonora, Mexico
Will include a Spanish language commentary.
