Roboscopes remote deep sky imaging!

Remote astronomy for most people until now has been inaccessible for many reasons, cost being the biggest. For this reason it's always been an imaging tool for the few rather than the many. So we decided to do something about this and opened our own multi pier remote observatory with reasonable rates for the whole world to use.

We decided to build our new observatory in Sorthern Spain and install high quality equipment whilst still maintaining our principle of reasonable rates.

Roboscopes offer hourly, syndicates & Hosting piers for those people who prefer to use their own equipment.

We even have the "Full House" option that allows you to subscribe to all the syndicate piers at a hugely discounted price!

Syndicates are the most cost effective & social way of remote deep sky imaging. You become part of a like minded syndicate where you discuss what your pier images, help each other with processing techniques and banter in your own dedicated forum section.

Syndicates start from €900pa As a member you have access to all the data the pier produces not to mention you can plan with other members what the pier images on an ongoing basis. For a syndicate member you get the best of everything without the expense & hassle of placing your expensive equipment in a remote location.

Customer Nexus portal

We have built a simple but powerful feature rich 'Nexus portal" including booking form and download area. It's very easy to use for all levels of experience, with helpful suggestions as well as the ability to use common names like M31 etc rather than having to use coordinates.

It has recommendations for sub lengths as well as calibration files and an easy to follow filter weighting guide. So, whether you're an imaging God or just starting out with deep sky imaging, Roboscopes want to deliver a great experience at a reasonable cost.
