We are changing the way astrophotography is done!

Hey everyone, this is an update video for our remote observatory! Just letting you know how things have developed, as well as our upcoming plans. We are currently planning the construction of the next buildings, which will start very soon!
If you would like to reserve a pier, you can find our website here: starfront.space/
The website also has the discord link!
I hope you all enjoyed

Great idea. I hope the security is considered as part of the project.

[@holbunch]

Your passion for this project and astrophotograhpy are unmatched. Congratulations on your success. Clear Skies.

That Sony camera you’re using is insane. The fact that I can see color on the Galactic core using video is mind blowing.

[@SpaceCityAstro]

Thanks for the great work Bray. I'm amazed you stood outside for so long and didn't get carried away by mosquitos!

[@hael8680]

We are already convinced guys. The novices at remote imaging who are unsure need to see how it is done.

[@astrofalls]

Good call, time to make some how tos....

[@LogansAstro]

Amazing work you guys have done to get this up and running so quickly. Great to hear that further expansion of the project is planned.

[@lukomatico]

Really happy to see things going so well for you guys! :-) Onwards and upwards!

[@xXAussieYakerXx]

I’m honestly so impressed with you guys that you have brought the remote observation field to the masses at a great price, after looking at other RO’s and looking at there prices you have made it more affordable to people who can’t afford the high price, I wish one day maybe I can try it myself I have decently dark sky’s here in Australia but very difficult for me to get decent time on some targets that hang out more in the Northern hemisphere

[@keithhanssen7413]

Congrats! Super service for the astro-community.

[@mikekelly702]

Great Video Dude...I just purchsaed a Celestron 8SE used...and threw my first star party here Tuesday night. It was a blast. Thanks for being so inspirational!!!!

[@timK0WTB]

Have you all thought about doing some elevated floors, similar to a datacenter, so that you can run cabling under and not worry about tripping on anything? It may also reduce transmitting vibration into the piers from walking around the observatory. That second point might need some creativity but I would bet it’s possible.

[@ziggyfrnds]

Great work guys! All the best from Australia

[@Bonesvision]

Bravo! Nice work!

I really loved your channel and your videos 💟♥️

[@KNMArve]

Congratulations! 🥳🔭🌌✨ A little bit jealous being in the arctic summer night 🇳🇴 where it is bright all night and cloudy 90% of the time! 🫣 Gonna check out your offers, for sure 🙌🏻

[@westcountryastronomer]

I’m somewhat frustrated that I’m 5,000 miles away. I’m not sure I trust my very expensive gear to some box slinging cargo company. I doubt that it would arrive in one piece, let alone well collimated. But your set up looks fantastic and I wish you every success in your venture. You deserve it.

[@MarcelBlattner]

I am fed up with the weather conditions here. Count me in!

[@calimark7448]

Awesome!!!

[@simonpepper5053]

This is amazing Bray it’s still just outside my budget but it’s just only a matter of time before I jump on this I have a spare scope Just sitting here ready to go just need an AM3! I hope the demand goes through the roof for this it’s a great business venture!

[@frosthastrophotography]

Living the dream guys, congratulations! It's definitely a goal of mine to have a telescope hosted at your facility some day :D I only had 80 hours of total exposure last season here at 63 degrees north and no darkness between end of april and end of august.

[@AmatureAstronomer]

Interesting.

[@paulwilson8367]

So, are the 2 buildings full already? I would be interested and your facility is closest to where I live.

[@Psychlist1972]

I see some flat panels in there that are quite a bit larger than the OTA. Do you have any rules or practices to prevent folks taking flats in the middle of the night and messing up others' imaging? I love what you're doing here. I'm strongly considering sending my 102mm down there. I couldn't even consider this previously with all the other sites that start at $800/night. Amazing view of the sky. I can't believe you can see the milky way even with your phone (or hand-held camera). Up here on the mid-atlantic coast near DC, I have yet to see the milky way even with my eyes.

[@clearskiesastro1028]

Hi Bray, seriously considering your remote obs, just have a question I haven't seen asked or answered. If I ship all my gear to you in their original boxes and/or cases etc....what do you do with those after all the gear is setup on the pier? What if after a couple of years, I decide I want all that gear back, do you keep everything or is that all thrown out? This will help me decide if I ship everything, or do the 3000km (~ 1900 miles) drive down to Texas :)

[@easyastroimages5818]

Love my young capitalists!!

[@aitke12]

whats those large bliinking red lights?

[@indysbike3014]

A few questions. Is there a security cam so I can see my scope? And what about security. You have some kind of insurrance in case all the stuff gets stolen?

[@trevormcdougall446]

Are you on mains power or solar and batteries?

[@MazzifLOL]

Amazing success. Is that 31 installed piers, or 31 client telescopes installed on piers?

[@astrofalls]

now 35 piers installed, 31 telescope operational

[@vaibhavsati538]

Remote imaging is new?

[@davidsimard1522]
