Pay As You Go Imaging From Only $7hr

Welcome to RoboScopes

At a location in Southern Spain, we built our new observatory. We kitted it out with high quality equipment while maintaining our principle of reasonable rates.

The mantra for this project has always been based on the three G’s...

Great Location
Great Data
Great Prices

We have always dreamed of having our own remote deep sky imaging setup but could never seem to justify the considerable costs involved in either setting up a single bespoke system, buying the equipment and paying the monthly hosting fees. Our other option would have been paying for time on other peoples remote setups but this also seemed like a lot of money to us on an ongoing basis.

So we decided to do something unique. We opened our own multi pier remote observatory with reasonable rates for the whole world to use.

Thanks to a collaboration with e-EyE, we were able to design a multi pier observatory with a host of individual features:

Insulated roof & walls
Deep insulated concrete floor slab that is very temperature stable
Dehumidified (In winter)
State of the art infrastructure with onsite backup from e-EyE
100Mb Synchronous Fibre Optic internet connection
UPS back up to all telescopes as well as critical systems
Dual weather monitoring systems
All sky camera
SQM Monitor
Internal & External camera monitoring system
Autonomous roof that opens at dusk and closes just before dawn - Adverse weather events aside
Low walls to take advantage of our superb horizons
Monitored security system in a fenced & gated compound

User Friendly Booking

We have built a simple but powerful booking page that's 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.
