The second ChETEC-INFRA Observational School (ChINOS2) took place in Prague from 21 to 25 July, hosted by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic at its representative residence, Villa Lanna.
Twenty students from eleven countries attended lectures and undertook hands-on spectroscopic work. They also undertook spectroscopic work during the day. They observed remotely at night. Working hours ranged from 12 to 18 hours per day (9am to 3am).
For the observations, we had access to the Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma in Spain. Participants had the opportunity to visit the Ondřejov Observatory and the Perek Telescope, which is one of the TA instruments within the ChETEC-INFRA project.
The school was co-sponsored by ChETEC-INFRA and the German Centre for Astrophysics. The Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ASU) acted as the host institution.
