That was informative! I appreciate the small family businesses with such good customer service.

Congratulations because what you do is beautiful and more remote for astrophotos and you can see that the astrophotos that you would give to have a really cool telescope like that are of good quality , From Chile southamerica

That was great. What a great operation they have in Utah and a wonderful family.

Wow guys, what an awesome setup. I am in the southern hemisphere and just starting up my astrophotography hobby again (after 50 years). So obviously I have a steep learning curve to get back up to speed. Your site would allow me to set up projects for the northern sky targets I don't have access to. I have to look into this further.

Thanks for the tour!

Great video! What a tremendous operation they have out there. It was a pleasure to watch and learn how much thought they have put into it and the care they take to keep it up and running smoothly. Thanks for sharing! ✌🏽

Very, very informative video. I think they have thought of everything.

[ApoorvaIyer]

Nice video! Sound effects were on point 😂

[DinoDematteis-wxou]

Yes, thank you, very informative. I have always wondered how that worked. I plan to do this in the future when I retire.

[jtepsr]

i just saw this, i am so jealous. this is such a great service. can visitors from other states rent a telescope for a night?

[genemetz]

So which one would actually track a SpaceX falcon 9 or the Starship durring launch?

[BruceElliott]

Lots of good info here. I've got to wonder who picked the images to use for the section on protection against thieves, though. I guess there are no white thieves in Utah?

You did not mention how many clear nights you have per year on average at your site.
