“I have had an observatory in my rural backyard North of Colorado Springs for 25 years. During that time, the skies have gotten brighter, clear nights more scarce, and in the lee of the Rocky Mountains, the seeing has always been poor.
Last summer, I resolved to move my Astro-Physics 155 mm refractor to a hosting facility. I had put enough time and treasure into this hobby that my telescope needed a location where it could really excel. I looked at several locations, and I landed at the Howling Coyote Remote Observatory. Six weeks out, I couldn’t be happier. After working with owner Greg Funderburk and his wife Jodie, I was completely convinced this was the right decision. Very professional, total service orientation, and of course, the site is wicked dark and the seeing is very good. Facilities are well maintained, organized, and modern. And because the site is remote, a comfortable and clean place to stay during installation or a maintenance visit is really valuable — no need to drive a long distance to a motel when you are wiped out after a long night observing.
In just 5-6 weeks, I have collected more data than in the year previous in Colorado. For the advanced amateur committed to their hobby, choosing to use a remote site can have a profound effect on your results, and Howling Coyote Remote Observatory may well be the best out there.”
