INFRASTRUCTURE

Picture
Since first light in May of 2007, SRO has continuously operated multiple observatories for both professional research and amateur imaging.  Our critical infrastructure includes:

     
• On-site 24/7 Technical Support 
     •  Fiber Optic Internet (standard 1 Gbps full duplex with higher gigabit speeds and dedicated fiber available)
     
• Automated Roof Control
     
• Secure VPN Access
     
• Systems Redundancy

Our observatories are roll-off roof design and constructed with elevated wood sub floors, designed to minimize thermal contamination.  The roll-off roof design was chosen for its rapid thermal stabilization in an area without significant wind (our average wind speed is 1 mph).  

Shared Observatories have 9-10 foot ceilings.  For equipment safety, all telescopes are configured such that they never contact the ceiling regardless of the roof or telescope position.

All clients have access to standard fiber optic internet at 1 Gbps, full duplex.  For those requiring additional bandwidth or security, dedicated fiber with higher gigabit speed is available.


Files with weather information are available for fits file insertion or for scripting your imaging session.  Roof position information is also available for telescope image session scripting. 

Building and site infrastructure incorporates high-availability of support and fail-safe features with redundancy to maximize equipment safety and minimize downtime.


To inquire about observatory availability, including custom observatories, please contact us via email at info@sroservice.com, to discuss your individual needs.
OBSERVATORY DESIGNS

Picture
Shared Observatory
Shared observatories can generally accommodate telescopes up to 32” on an equatorial mount. There is no need to worry about weather safety and roof operation – we do that for you.

Private Observatory
Private observatories can accommodate telescopes up to a 20” on an equatorial mount or 28” on an Alt-Az mount. You control the roof.

Custom Observatory
Custom observatories can be used for larger meter-class telescopes or those with unique requirements. Private roll-off roof observatories or domes can be placed within 2-4 months.  This gives the user maximum control of their observatory.
