We also provide professional remote observatory setup at our site. Our professional technicians will help you install your telescope for optimal performance at no additional charge. Telescope installations take between 1-2 days, and we also provide ongoing technical support.
Our remote observatory hosting facility breaks down all barriers between you and the potential of your equipment. We’ve chosen a spot with the least light pollution, wind and precipitation. Because of this, your telescope will perform at its best, and you’ll be free to focus on capturing high resolution data.
This remote observatory setup in New Mexico boasts the following premium qualities:
Bortle 1 skies allow for much longer exposures without being limited by light pollution.
This exceptionally high elevation puts our site above the inversion layer with minimal water particulates in the air. As a result, your telescope will provide the most transparent views of the stars and planets.
At night, wind speeds drop and combined with low turbulence, makes amazing sub-arcsecond seeing a regular occurrence at HCRO.
The high desert climate of our location in western New Mexico produces minimal cloud cover, humidity or rain for over two-thirds of the year, providing an abundance of imaging-data collection nights.
While remote imaging is convenient, many of our clients also want to come and put “hands on” their equipment. We offer complimentary accommodations for both clients and potential clients. If you are not sure where to place your OTA then come on out and check us out. We also offer free shuttle service to and from the Albuquerque airport. An RV hookup and amenities are also provided.
Our remote facility combines the clearest, darkest New Mexico skies with all the luxuries you need to get the most out of your telescope. It would be our pleasure to discuss what hosting your telescope at our facility would look like in more detail. Please contact us today to start a conversation!
