From Empty Observatory to Fully Remote Telescopes
The observatory was built.
Power was run.
Internet was live.
The roof rolled back.
But inside? Nothing.
No telescopes. Just empty structures waiting to actually do what they were designed for.
So i brought in the gear.
This wasn’t my equipment. These were full remote imaging systems that will live their entire lives under dark skies, operated from hundreds, sometimes thousands, of kilometres away.
Two telescopes.
Precision mounts.
Cameras.
Mini PCs.
Power distribution.
Networking.
Automation.
Everything installed from scratch.
Balanced, wired, configured, tested, and commissioned to run completely remote. Once i left, the only thing touching these systems would be photons.
From empty observatories to fully operational remote telescopes.
This is what it actually takes to turn a structure in the middle of nowhere into a working remote imaging system.

#denmark, we're here 😍
Didn't want to carry the camera etc, so I just took a small tripod and took this automatic long time exposure with my #pixel6pro.
