SJAA Imaging 5/13/2025: Remote Imaging

Remote Imaging: What to Expect and How to Prepare
Jared Willson

Have you wondered whether hosting your telescope is for you? What are the benefits? How much will it cost? Are there hidden down-sides? Can I do it with my existing equipment, or is it only for people with a 20” Planewave? If so, this talk is for you. I’ll be reviewing the pro’s and con’s of hosting your telescope at a remote observatory. And, yes, there are con’s beyond the cost. I’ll cover the additional equipment you might need or want, what sort of benefits you can expect vs your existing approach, what the typical costs are, and how to prepare if you have decided to take the plunge.

The Imaging SIG meets roughly every month online to discuss topics about imaging. The SIG is open to people with absolutely no experience but want to learn what it’s all about, but experienced imagers are also more than welcome, indeed, encouraged to participate.
