You can help GRANDMA catch a kilonova in O3

The GRANDMA [*] telescope network collaboration ( https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/ ) has started a website to enable amateur astronomers to participate in EM follow-up campaigns for GW events that are expected to show a kilonova ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilonova ). You would need access to at least a mid-size telescope (say aperture >= 8") equipped with a CCD/CMOS camera.

GRANDMA itself is a world-wide (China, France, Australia) network of robotic research telescopes that will try to find EM counterparts to gravitational wave events in O3, the next science run of the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories (starting very soon in March or April 2019 !)

Please spread the word to any interested amateur astronomers and astronomy clubs that you know, thx!
