Project start.

Main goal of the project

The main goal of the "CHILESCOPE" project is to provide astronomical society with access to high quality equipment under dark sky with sub second seeing in southern hemisphere. "Astronomy on demand" is our philosophy. This means user gets access to web portal and develops his own observing program using friendly interface. Schedule time for observing sessions, specify telescope, camera, filters, exposures and some other parameters and astronomical data will be automatically downloaded to your hard drive. No investments for expensive equipment, no spending time for long visits on site, no work with hardware and software to make setup do what you want it to do. Just develop your observing program and get result! We guaranty money back in case of system malfunction, bad weather and other cases that can affect your session.

Our team

We are group of professional and amateur astronomers with big experience in field of practical astronomy. What is in background? 20 years of practical astronomy. Astrophoto of deep space objects. Many APODs. Completely automated remote controlled observatory in Atacama desert, Chile. We achieved 97% of non malfunction work during two years in wholly remote mode. During those years we got deep knowledge of electronics, mechanics and software components of modern astronomical observatory. We know how to choose, combine and tune all elements to make observatory work with minimum human intervention. Now we are using all our experience to develop our dream observatory.
