Some schools or colleges where astronomy is part of the science curriculum are fortunate enough to have an astronomical telescope for observing the sky at night. The instrument can, however, also be used in the day-time for the investigation of road mirages and other mirages over warm land or water. If the telescope is fitted with an adaptor to which a camera can be attached students should be able to take photographs. The author first summarises some basic principles of mirages and their formation, and then goes on to describe the photographic techniques that can be used.
