We are moving forward with our remote-controlled telescope project hosted at aule-browser.com as
http://remastr.aule-browser.com pending a suitable host site.
This project is focussed on practical skills for under-employed indigenous or aboriginal persons and quality service for those internet astronomers who do not have the access to dark skies which their observations require.
Skill areas include basic robotic controls, internet protocols, business basics, scheduling for users and maintenance, calibration, web development, marketing, grant annd funding submissions, human resources, industrial design, light precision manufacturing, tourism, ecologically unobtrusive small business, global aboriginal communications.
Current available sites are North Dakota (1), New Mexico (3), Saskatchewan (pending), South Dakota (pending) and Minnesota (pending.) Sites still pending are all on aboriginal lands. Sites of interest are aboriginal lands in southern Mexico, Chile, Borneo, Australia.
If you have a suggestion for a remote site, please contact robert @ logiquewerks.com (no spaces in actual email address.) If you are a member of a tribe or other aboriginal community with an interest in this subject, I would love to hear from you. If you have ideas for robust remote internet telescope installations for 200cm to 750cm apertures, please drop us a line.
