What is the system that you’re installing at 1:12 in the video? Is this something that can be adapted to smaller telescopes so that individuals in wheelchairs can more easily view? I’m the outreach coordinator for our local club.

It would be so cool to work for this company! I just finished my robotic observatory (re)build. I think after the first one, you must get into a grove since you've seen all the pitfalls.

@demej00 Ай бұрын

Just eyeballing the drill angle? Need to cut down the water tower. The 3 bolts supported the telescope on the pier seem too flimsy and their expansion rate must play with the telescopes calibration?

@MattDieterich Ай бұрын

We angle in the rod to ensure we don't hit the rebar. We straighten the rod once in to match the base plate of telescope. With that threaded rod it is extremely rigid and does not effect the telescope's pointing or tracking performance.

I’m working with folks from Planewave this week at Mt Wislon CA on a new project to improve the science capability of the 100 inch Hooker telescope. 1st engineering run Tuesday.

Excellent! We do a lot of work up on Mount Wilson. We installed the CHARA Array and also their latest optical fiber mobile observatory that incorporates a PW 1-meter.

If I were to afford anything that costly, I'd likely go for the observatory. No fancy car, house, etc. Being an amateur astronomer to some extent, I know the enjoyment an interest like astronomy can bring.

And still using a ZWO camera :(

@SeaWestObservatories Ай бұрын

Client wanted to keep costs down for the initial build and the ZWO camera pulls in some sensor photons.

@garrettgold Ай бұрын

@@SeaWestObservatories what abt a more scientific camera. With that setup I would wanna be doing 45min subs. ZWO has a max of 30. But whatever the client wants. Very cool setup nonetheless I am very jealous. On another note, good thing it’s mono. . .

@SeaWestObservatories Ай бұрын

@@garrettgold Typically the longest exposures we would ever do with narrowband filters is 1800s. Even then, those are extremely long exposures and commonly overkill for a backside illuminated CMOS camera. Usually we do 300s subs as the QE of the sensors and low read noise is just so good.

@SeaWestObservatories 2 ай бұрын

Hi Jeff, For the turn-key system like this the cost is between $500k-600k. The observatory can be operated entirely remotely with our observatory management system. Soft costs that will change the price are going to be where your utilities are for power and data. This client we had to trench ~400 ft to get power and data from his house, so that added cost for the site civil work.
