Roboscopes now offer Remote Telescope Hosting

Roboscopes up until now have offered offered multi-user syndicates and hourly rental piers. In these areas we have a tremendous amount of experience in using and getting the best out of a remote telescope for our existing customer base. However, we always felt that hosting was something we would like to branch out to…..

So we have but with a difference to everyone else :)

Most companies will allow you to host your equipment at their site, some may even have a shared roof, this is a fantastic way to get the most out of your equipment from a dark sky location. If you have the technical knowledge experience and time to set the system up. Or you may even enjoy the challenge, then this standard hosting model may work well for you.

What do you do if you don’t have any of the above:

1. The Time
2. The expertise
3. The experience to successfully use your equipment remotely because it is a steep learning curve with many pitfalls
4. The inclination and all you really want to do is tell the telescope where to point and then get on with the processing as that’s really what you love to do
5. You may not even be very hands on which such a a big mechanical & technical installation
6. It may be to far for you to travel
