Not content with your remote controlled web cam? Get an eye full of Warner & Swasey Observatory Robotic Telescope in Ohino, USA.
Get your images delivered direct by that old fashioned method of communication ... asking for it. The user registration and observation request interface went online yesterday with the following guidelines:
a. Observations will be in the V filter only for now. b. Maximum length of a single exposure: 2 Minutes c. No guided exposures - You must depend on the telescope tracking properly (for now).
d. Maximum number of frames: 5 (all at the same position). e. No planets for now - this will take neutral density filters, on the fly position calculations, and potentially tracking rate modifications.
f. Comets take modified tracking rates which we have
not yet implemented though we do have the capability in the telescope software. Thus, no comets yet. Never the Moon nor the Sun.
