Remote Observatory

[Michael O’Connell]

Hi Folks,
I’d be interested to know if anyone here has recommendations on remote observatory sites to rent in sunnier climates (preferably France, Spain or Portugal) please?
In particular, ones where I can install my own scope and mount in an existing observatory, rather than installing my own observatory building.
Thanks,
Michael.

Hi Michael,

I have my setup at Pixel Skies Astro in Spain. Excellent all round! Highly recommended.

Hi Michael,
I’ve had my equipment at e-Eye for the last 5 years and am very satisfied. They’re friendly and very professional. The site is great with excellent accommodation if you choose to go out there for a visit. You rent an individual observatory space and get control of your own roof. https://www.e-eye.es/en/hosting/
Please contact me if you want my experiences.

Thanks Peter for that info. Much appreciated.

Hi Michael,

this is a route I’ve decided to follow. The amount of observing due weather here, north Essex, this past 2 years is enough to make me give up.
So I’d be interested in corresponding with you and any others with experience. I would prefer a site that has an even run of clear nights during a year rather than seasons, if such a thing exists. I will move my C14 Edge + Paramount. I’m mainly observing comets, active Centaurs/asteroids, exo-planets and CV variable stars.
