virtual observatory
Dear astronomers:
I think establishing a virtual observatory that can be controlled remotely via internet is really fantastic. Is there any idea? What kind of telescopes and from which company do you recommend? What kind of CCD camera is more suitable? Most of the CCD cameras are exposed to the object for a period of time but what should we do if we want to observe a real time event like eclipse? What about the softwares and motor drivers? What about the property of the network which transfers the photos and information? I'm eagerly looking for your ideas and experiences. Good Luck |

I believe these already exist. I can name two: Rent-a-scope
http://www.arnierosner.com/are/index.htm and SLOOH http://www.slooh.com/homejs.jsp These sites allow realtime control of several high-end scopes including online astrophotography. Check them out.
