GRANDMA looking for help

That's right. GRANDMA is looking for help.
If you have a telescope (> 16 mag in 10 min), let’s join here and be ready for 2019 ! https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/educati...eur-astronomy/

Role description: when gravity waves are detected of a kilonova you get an alert. Your job it is then to point your scope and camera to one of the possible listed source candidate galaxies. And upload your image to the server.

GRANDMA stands for "Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts".

Australia, France and China are cooperating on Grandma.
uhm. that sounds funny. But you know what I mean, like.

I reckon, most targets will be only visible for the Southern Hemisphere folks. So you guys could chip in and donate 10 minutes of imaging time every once in a while.
