Tools to simplfy the whole observing process with the LCO telescope network via the Comet Chasers project. Tools are available for planning and organising observations, making image requests, and creating animations of the telescope images. These tools are aimed at students in primary and secondary schools who take part in the Comet Chasers project – but will also be useful for under-graduate and post-graduate students for simplifying the process of requesting images of comets/asteroids from LCO. Full nstructions are currently available on the website for two tools, all tools will have instructions in the near future.
