Out in the rural wildneress of central Texas USA lies an astronomical telescope ranch where stargazers from around the world can pay to mount their instruments in a pancake flat landscape far from urban light pollution. Computer controlled equatorial mounts allow the owners to control, monitor, and process their astro-photography over the internet in real time. Star Front Observatories have been in business since 2024 and have almost 600 subscribers paying from $99 pcm upwards to have their scopes installed at the ranch. Some great examples of images taken there can be seen at the end of the video.
