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!

Some AM5s for Friday! Of all the mounts we have here at the observatory, this is one where we have never had a single copy break. When I open a box for an install and see an AM5 it brings a tear of joy to my face.
These ones are in building 8!
Astrophotographers at our observatory have been killing it lately. We are up to two APOD awards, and six Astrobin IOTDs now! Here are some of those recent images
A completely unedited photo of the moon captured a moment ago from the remote location in Texas where I have one system shooting deep panoramas of the milky way. A second one will be up and running soon for intricate photos of deep sky objects.
I'll capture ~7 hours tonight.
Hey everyone! Welcome to the starfront observatory. We are a remote telescope hosting service located in central texas under super dark skies. Our goal is to make access to these dark skies much more affordable!
