That was informative! I appreciate the small family businesses with such good customer service.

[@tasaki12]

"how's my rig protected" "2A" Love it

[@arnoldcontreras1595]

Congratulations because what you do is beautiful and more remote for astrophotos and you can see that the astrophotos that you would give to have a really cool telescope like that are of good quality ,From Chile southamerica

[@stephenpalmer7281]

That was great. What a great operation they have in Utah and a wonderful family.

[@alandyer910]

Great tour, thank you! I enjoy watching Craig’s processing tutorials.

[@hakksaw]

Great video! What a tremendous operation they have out there. It was a pleasure to watch and learn how much thought they have put into it and the care they take to keep it up and running smoothly. Thanks for sharing! ✌🏽

[@messier7849]

Thank you. Wonderful family and a great facility.

[@starsips]

Great video and family Astro team! Thank you

[@MountainFisher]

That is an awesome operation! Plus having someone there who can fix issues like internal circuit cards is amazing.

[@andesastro]

Thats so interesting! Thanks for the ride Stella & Dalia 🙏🏽

[@joebiscoeiv747]

These kind of videos are the best. Love it!

[@DinoDematteis-wx9ou]

Yes, thank you, very informative. I have always wondered how that worked. I plan to do this in the future when I retire.

[@backyardspacedude4238]

What a fantastic video! So informative, well made and interesting.

[@shorty1474]

best job ever! awesome video folks!

[@bridgeforth]

Thank you for this!

[@gregorymckenna6609]

Very, very informative video. I think they have thought of everything.

[@gomanastro]

great job on this, great editing!

[@fouadk3085]

Very informative thanks Dalia

[@mariospenard5125]

Very interesting information! 😊

[@hawkesworth1712]

Another very good video.

[@ApoorvaIyer]

Nice video! Sound effects were on point 😂

[@karlmorris7451]

Thats cool!!

[@samchasingstarlight]

Looks like a great facility. I wish there was more information on the median nighttime seeing conditions there for the year and also for each season. Online, I saw 1.5" to 2.5", which isn't terrific - actually is what I get here on many nights in the north east - and we're not known for having the best seeing conditions.

[@genemetz1945]

So which one would actually track a SpaceX falcon 9 or the Starship durring launch?

[@rhendricksonn]

Cool

[@jtepsr]

i just saw this , i am so jealous. this is such a great service. can visitors from other states rent a telescope for a night?

[@MountainFisher]

Watch towards the end, they do rent their own scopes.

[@BruceElliott]

Lots of good info here. I've got to wonder who picked the images to use for the section on protection against thieves, though. I guess there are no white thieves in Utah?

[@thecelestialnorth]

You did not mention how many clear nights you have per year on average at your site.

[@GalacticHunter]

We mention this on previous videos about UDRO, and it is also on their website I believe. You can watch our Interview video with Craig Stocks, or the one where we first install our telescope there, one of them covers that question

[@keeplookingup911]

Can people visit this place, who's not a customer??

[@GalacticHunter]

Not sure but I don't believe so unless it is for a special event. Not many people are allowed around the telescopes to avoid accidentally touching anything

[@mpk2707]

What about dust. Desert must mean a lot of dust.

[@GalacticHunter]

Will need to ask this if we ever do a Part 2!

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

Look everyone . Here’s the set where the first fake mars landing will take place 😂

[@astronajar]

Can you adopt me ?
