Bradford Telescope

[Robny]

Hi Y'all

Well...I got fed up with waiting for the British weather, so I signed up for the Bradford Robotic Telescope in Tenerife. I only took on the standard membership as a trial to see how it goes, I've just sent my first job.

Anybody using this and have any feedback?

Many Thanks

Rob

I think someone in Scotland did the same 8-12 months back.

Also think they sold most of their equipment, so I doubt they post much more here now.

Be interesting to find out what you think of it and the service provided.

That is 3 I think that you can sign up for.

Like Robny I got feed up with our weather and signed up to BRT.  So far I have just been experimenting with images on the Galaxy camera.

I meant to add that there was an article in the March 2014 issue of "Sky at Night" magazine on using robotic telescopes by Kieron Allen entitled "Imaging from afar".

Good luck, I'd be interested to hear how you get on. I've been tempted to get an account myself to practise imaging processing.

I went to my local astronomical society last Wednesday (Hebden Bridge) and we had Professor Andy Newsam from LJMU as speaker. http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/NewsUpdate/viewarticle/850/

John Moore University have their own robotic telescope on La Palma and you can dial into that  as well. I'm not sure if it is specifically students only though.

I signed up a while ago. Some of the images that you can do are quite good while others not so. The editing software is very limited. 

I cannot find a way of getting multiple images so the longest exposure you can do is 3 mins.

You can download the images for further processing. It only costs £3 per month and you can cancel at any time.

I'm really enjoying using the Bradford Robotic Telescope. Well worth checking out. I've got some snaps on my Flickr site (link in my signature strip below).
