Fountain Valley California (PRWEB) February 20, 2007 -- Newsweek's edition for the week of February 19, 2007 honored Global-rent-a-scope.com as its browse pick of the week.
Global-Rent-a-scope, a major provider of astronomical observing resources for members of the RAS Observatory of New Mexico and the general public, consists of a network of globally connected astronomical installations in strategic time zones. The location of these participating installations offer users and observers access to highly sophisticated remote astronomical imaging platforms that possess amazing pointing and tracking accuracy. Outfitted with chilled CCD cameras and special imaging and scientific filters, users are able to conduct research and capture unbelievably detailed images of a variety of deep space objects.
Now, anyone with an Internet connection can control a ground-based telescope system that is very similar to a space telescope system. The amazing part is that no previous technical experience is required. Also real live support is available 24/7.
Arnie Rosner, the creator of Global-Rent-a-scope commented, "This amazing service was only made possible through the incredible vision and genius of several manufacturers and software companies. Our location In New Mexico, for instance, uses the remarkable Takahashi telescopes. These amazing optical systems are mounted on remotely operated state-of-the-art robotic Paramount telescope mounts. These high-quality telescope mounts are produced by Software Bisque of Colorado, http://www.bisque.com/. Each system is equipped with sensitive electronic detectors called CCD cameras. It was noted that In Australia, AREO8, a 12.5" RCOS telescope system, produced by RCOS optical systems http://www.rcopticalsystems.com is the featured instrument of that installation.
Rosner also added, "Some of the equally incredible filters, (UBVRI, LRGB, plus Ha, OII and SIII installed on select systems) have been made available to our users to enhance their imaging experience.
The New Mexico Skies ground support team has provided such fantastic support that we enjoy a history of almost perfect uptime. As a result, to date, our users and researchers successfully captured over 17,000 hours of astronomical data. In turn, much of this data resulted in thousands of observations and discoveries.
The following represents some of the fascinating areas of research in which some of our observers engage: astrometry, photometry, supernova discovery, variable stars, astrophotography, viewing galaxies, capturing nebulous, tracking Gamma Ray bursters and double Star research.
At present eight of the nine systems are online. AREO7 is in the final testing face and should be online within the week.
