For sale is my complete, fully operational remote astrophotography system currently installed at Astronomy Acres in Rodeo, New Mexico.
This is an opportunity to acquire a high-end imaging system that is already installed, configured and operating remotely. Rather than purchasing individual components, shipping everything to a dark-sky site and commissioning a remote system from scratch, the buyer can take over an existing installation and begin imaging immediately.
The system is built around an Astro-Physics AP1100GTO with absolute encoders and a CFF 250mm f/8 Ritchey-Chrétien, paired with a QHY268M APS-C mono camera.

Why Buy It as a Complete System?
Building a remote observatory installation involves considerably more than purchasing the telescope, mount and camera. This system eliminates the process of:
I can provide full-resolution images and/or raw data produced by this exact system to serious buyers.
Observatory
The system is currently installed at Astronomy Acres in Rodeo, New Mexico. Current pier lease is $500 USD/month and would be arranged with Astronomy Acres.
Price
$23,000 USD for the complete system. Reasonable offers considered. My preference is to sell the installation complete rather than dismantle and sell individual components.
For someone specifically looking to establish a serious remote imaging setup, the value here is not only in the equipment but in acquiring a complete, integrated system that is already installed and operational.
Please contact me with any questions or if you would like additional equipment photos, sample images, raw data, or further information about the installation

Why Buy It as a Complete System?
Building a remote observatory installation involves considerably more than purchasing the telescope, mount and camera. This system eliminates the process of:
- sourcing and matching all of the components
- shipping a large telescope and mount to a remote site
- assembling and balancing the system
- setting up the imaging train
- configuring guiding and focusing
- cable and power management
- computer and remote-access setup
- troubleshooting and commissioning the installation
