        <title>ALTC Citation!</title>
        <link>http://www.telescope-net.com/apta/NEWS</link>
        <description><![CDATA[The Mt Kent Observatory team at the <a href="http://www.usq.edu.au/">University of Southern Queensland</a> have been awarded a <a href="http://www.altc.edu.au/carrick/go/home/awards/citations">Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning</a> from the <a href="http://www.altc.edu.au">Australian Learning and Teaching Council</a> (ALTC; formerly the Carrick Institute).  The Citation was awarded for developing a specialised astronomy facility that engages on-campus and distance education students in science through practical and interactive experiences, in part through the use of <i>telescope-net</i> systems and infrastructure.  The Mt Kent Observatory team has helped to develop the <a href="http://orion.mko.usq.edu.au/telescopes/OMara/">O&#39;Mara telescope</a>, a fully-robotic instrument which forms a part of the <i>telescope-net</i> network.  The full list of Citation recipients for 2008 can be found <a href="http://www.altc.edu.au/carrick/webdav/users/siteadmin/public/awards_citationrecipients2008.pdf">here</a>.]]></description>

        <title>Google modules launched</title>
        <link>http://www.telescope-net.com/apta/NEWS</link>
        <description><![CDATA[As a part of our commitment to make our astronomy services available to all, we have created our first two Google Gadgets.  The first of these allows you to see information on the current positions and visibilities of the sun, moon and major planets, and can be adapted to display information on any object in our catalog including comets and asteroids.  The second Gadget always shows the latest image processed by the <i>telescope-net</i> network, along with a brief description.  Please see the <a href="http://www.telescope-net.com/apta/GMODULES">Gadgets</a> page for more information, or to put them on your iGoogle or web pages.]]></description>
