Remote observatory in Australia offering hosting services
The Australian remote observatory site — dark skies and southern hemisphere access from anywhere in the world.

Southern hemisphere access

The southern sky contains objects unavailable from northern latitudes: the Magellanic Clouds, the Eta Carinae Nebula, Centaurus A, Omega Centauri, and a wealth of southern Milky Way fields. For northern hemisphere imagers, remote access to a properly equipped Australian site opens up an entire hemisphere of targets.

Lunatico weather monitoring is a standard part of the hosting service — the CloudWatcher and SOLO ensure the setup closes automatically on unsafe conditions, giving both the operators and the guests confidence that equipment is protected even when unattended.
