This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.

Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.

Behold Starfront Observatories.

Great video about @starfront_obs by @corememory : https://t.co/nlfNmGD0qe

A few months ago, I saw someone posting a certain kind of erotica on X. They were images of hundreds upon hundreds of telescopes spread across what appeared to be ranch land. The telescopes were arranged in a pleasing pattern, and had motorized contraptions guarding them, and were so numerous that all of my nerdogenous zones were activated.

And so off to Central Texas we went to witness Starfront Observatories firsthand.

Not a bad view from the office. @starfront_obs

@astro_Pettit Incredible stuff Don

@imraanKG @astrofalls @thomaspetersen @grok No, it is a Newtonian. It’s a corrected newt specifically for imaging. And yea, the complete rig is in the price ballpark you mentioned.

[Bray Falls @astrofalls]

This is what I’ve been up to the last year! Building the largest remote observatory in the world

(By quantity of scopes)

[Bray Falls @astrofalls]

Since a lot of people are confused about what this is, every telescope here is owned by a person. Each person can log in remotely to use their telescope to capture photos of space from our dark skies!

@DC_Draino Rather make him president

Tracked here is the Geostationary Satellite SJ-17 (NORAD-ID 41838) passing by three galaxies: NGC-4762, NGC-4754, and NGC-4733, which are all members of the Virgo cluster💫

The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), captured from my remote telescope in Texas

[Chuck's Astrophotography @chucksastropho1]

My latest capture - the Needle Galaxy (NGC 4565). It's one of the brightest examples of an edge-on galaxy. It's around 38 million light-years from Earth. I used my Celestron RASA telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Antlia L-Filter from Starfront Observatories, TX.

@chucksastropho1 This is ridiculously good
