What is fun, is that you can have experienced amateur observers, who know the sky like the back of their hand, can get confused when they get to really dark skies.
What you are setting up here is so good for the astro community, by keeping the price way more affordable that most places around the world, not just by allowing more inexpensive equipment to be used, but also by keeping down the monthly cost for renting a pier space. I applaud your motivation behind this project to make imaging under dark skies a more affordable and viable option for the amateur astrophotographer. (P.S while watching this video, I was stacking 18hrs of OIII on WR134 and noticed one of those two filamentous areas you mentioned in the video, is in my fov 😃 )
I don’t even have a dedicated astronomy rig to photograph deep sky objects, but this idea of allowing people to photograph from deep sky remotely is incredible.
very nice and affordable. I'm seriously considering this. I've read the information on your website, but I need more information on some of the more technical aspects about how problems will be addressed with the scope set-up should and when they arise.
Very cool idea. I've done the TSP a half dozen times years ago until it got too big and more difficult to attend. Google maps shows you to be about 3.25 hours from my home in Arlington....it would be fun to come to Brady and see your setup. Speaking of Brady, is that where you're getting that skyglow in the background? Thanks, Michael
Oh wow what an amazing project! I love astronomy but seldom I have had the opportunity to look through a telescope [worth looking through] but let me tell ya it's quite the rush when it happens.. I'd love more opportunity's to. To achieve "dark sky status" here in the UK I travelled to the Northumberland border to Keilder observatory and honestly what we saw there was truly precious and not just for me I took my two sons the eldest went on to get a degree in astrophysics and youngest still talks about that experience as if it was Disney land he was 9 when I took him he's 21 now. Your right EVERYBODY deserves the chance to escape the pesky man made lights that destroy the true beauty of our night sky❤ this is sentiment I truly understand. Have a humble like and subscribed. It's all I can offer but yes...this is wonderful! Your corona borealis shot is exquisite 👌
I am super interested but hesitant as i know little about the software/ interface needed. Looking forward to a video explaining what is needed for this.
Im only 2.5 hrs away from your site now that i recently moved to central texas and im interested in renting a spot at your observatory. I will reach out to you on the website. Very cool you are doing this.
Love your recent observatory videos Bray! Very inspiring! I'm saving up for some parts to make my telescope ready for remote control. Can't wait to reserve a peer somtime in the future :)
We are moving from a bortle 6-7 to a 3 soon. Can't wait. Just a pity that I don't actually have any gear ATM. The site looks fantastic!! Can I ask what the music is called if you know?? Keep up the great work!!
Reserved a pier. Since I plan to send a newt, I am wondering what to do about flats. Will the roof be open during early morning/evening so probably sky flats..? Alternatively if you have a white roof...
Yes exactly! Roofs are open for flats. I have also realized that it is really easy to take flats off of the front of our roof when it is rolled back with the lights on
Man. If I could afford to ship my stuff, I would do it today! I'm literally trying to think of a way to get my stuff out there and which scope I'd send.
So I have a W.O. FLT91 on an AM5 with ASIAIR+, 2600MM/FW/3nm filters/200mm guide scope/asi290mm-mini guide cam. What would I need to change in my setup to make it a much better remote scope? My first thoughts are to swap out ASIAIR for an Eagle 5 Pro? Swap out AM5 for a better remote mount, but not sure which?
I can't believe you don't have a down wash light beside the OBS door. I detest those blinding style lights to the right of the door at the beginning of the video.
Definitely interested, but have some questions around setup/logistics/etc. There doesn't seem to be an email to reach out to for info on the website, is that something that could be added? Or is there a better way to get in contact?

I live in Namibia. Dark skies are amazing! we do not appreciate them enough!

You're living our dream life
It is pretty great but the lack of sleep sucks
@@astrofalls but we can't live like you 😔
I love all your videos bro. Youre the best thing on YT.
Shapin’ up. Looks like a very nice facility and I know the skies are awesome.
I like the cable management on that RASA. Clean!
We cable manage clean out here 😤
very nice and affordable. I'm seriously considering this. I've read the information on your website, but I need more information on some of the more technical aspects about how problems will be addressed with the scope set-up should and when they arise.
For technical issues, we do have on site support. So any issues that arise can be addressed!
Waiting on my Moravian C3-61000 pro to get here from Czechia and my Tak FSQ106 will be on it's way! Everything looking great!!!
sick stuff!

Living the astro dream. Congrats on the milestones and wish you all the success.
Coolest job in the world!!! And outside this world.
That's awesome, Bray. Congratulations!!

Looks really good. Got finished really quick
amazing job Bray 👌
Dark skies are like opening the eyes.

Very nice! Glad the prices are more reasonable, though still a bit out of my range it's nice to see something more realistic.
Bray, I saw those filaments on my WR134 also. They didn’t come as strong during my processing however.
Many people are starting to see them apparently. As far as I know Julian Shapiro was the first to point them out a couple of months ago
We are moving from a bortle 6-7 to a 3 soon. Can't wait. Just a pity that I don't actually have any gear ATM. The site looks fantastic!! Can I ask what the music is called if you know?? Keep up the great work!!

Yes exactly! Roofs are open for flats. I have also realized that it is really easy to take flats off of the front of our roof when it is rolled back with the lights on
I figured that, just those unshielded lights are everywhere now.
Man. If I could afford to ship my stuff, I would do it today! I'm literally trying to think of a way to get my stuff out there and which scope I'd send.
How much is it. I have 1 set up in Spain. Still have a few more telescope in Ireland
Do the filaments look similar to the ones on the sun flares?
So I have a W.O. FLT91 on an AM5 with ASIAIR+, 2600MM/FW/3nm filters/200mm guide scope/asi290mm-mini guide cam. What would I need to change in my setup to make it a much better remote scope? My first thoughts are to swap out ASIAIR for an Eagle 5 Pro? Swap out AM5 for a better remote mount, but not sure which?
We don’t suggest an Eagle, use a beelink mini pc. And the AM5 is the perfect mount for this, highly recommended/ the rest of your setup is great
The fact that the live view on your camera would in itself make a rather good astro picture feels totally crazy to me
Can we use any Astro-Software? I use The SkyX. And can we use our own pier?
I can't believe you don't have a down wash light beside the OBS door. I detest those blinding style lights to the right of the door at the beginning of the video.
Well all the lights are off at night anyways, very strict on stray lights here
Hi Bray, great video! I’d like to know more about the costs (other than the pier reservation). Can’t seem to find anything on the website?
Sorry, found it on the website!

Website is revamped! Should be better to navigate mow
how many buildings do you plan?
We have space for 100 if the demand continues
@@astrofalls geez that’s a ton!
How much to host a Seestar?
Wow! Just wow! Ok, I am going to get my EdgeHD8 from the storage and send it there
I guess you need to start a discord server for the users. Most remote observatories have a discord server!
Bortle 1 or really 2? because light pollution map info shows it as 2, not 1.
Best reading so far is 21.70. There is a ton of airglow lately that is messing with the reading. I won’t trust the bortle map with my life
@@astrofalls thanks for the explanation
6:36 This!
