CFHT-Coelum Astronomy Calendar 2016

This calendar is a gallery of some of the best images taken with the CFH12K and the MegaCam cameras over the past 15 years.

Collaboration with the staff of the Italian astronomy magazine Coelum has made the publication of this gallery possible.

The production of this calendar has been entrusted since 2000 to the team because of their experience in astronomical image treatment, their skills of presentation and their enthusiasm for Astronomy.

The CFHT-­Coelum collaboration started in early 1999 with the publication of articles introducing the latest CFHT instruments to the public.
