Starfront New York Times Article

[AlanLichty]

This might be behind a paywall but the New York Times published a neat article describing Starfront Observatories with some drone images of the setup. Pretty interesting way to get remote astrophotography images under remarkably clear skies. @Mike Lewis described this place a little while back but it was nice to see some images of the place along with a description of the business venture behind it all.

Thanks for posting that Alan. It wanted me to create a free account to view the article, though I could see the photo showing the telescopes all lined up.

Starfront is doing it right, not charging so much that it puts people off. Their prices are low enough to then consider using them. I might go that route in another year or so.

Oh wow, very cool. I wish the article was accessible without signing up for the paper. It looks like it is an interestingarticle from the 5 seconds of it I saw. Thanks for posting Alan - I am going to see if I know anyone who could access it for me.

Very cool - and all the more amazing, since my pier and gear appears in one of the images (Michael Lewis taped to the pier) along the left side. Now tat's cool! Thanks Alan!

Sweet - I missed that detail in the images but found it after knowing to look for it
