Roboscopes A New widefield Syndicate Southern Hemisphere skies located in Austrailia - Please DM me if interested

I believe you will base the actual price on the expected number of subscribers, so perhaps it might be a good idea to publish for now a price range. This suggestion is based on the fact that this scope is to be installed at a new site down under. None of us therefore can come up with any kind of estimate using the current site in Spain.

That may create the situation whereby some may not express an interest because of this missing information and wait until it becomes available, while those that do may later not go ahead when the cost is revealed. Publishing just a price range right now may make the numbers you receive more accurate, Just a thought. :)

They are not finalized yet Ray, hence I have not advertised them yet. However, this is Roboscopes so they are not going to be high in reality are they! :)

Maybe you misunderstood what I was asking. I was only requesting a price range for that initial Askar 180 since that was the only one you wanted people to contact you about. I took it for granted that all the prices would be reasonable anyway. :)

Hi all, we now have the most important detail you have all been asking for, the new "180mm Collaboration Pier" pricing and specs on how it will be run :)

Our Southern Hemisphere piers are not being run in the same way as our syndicate piers in Spain, we are hoping for a combination of personal & collaborative jobs between members to decide on what projects are inputted throughout the year, this also includes mosaics

More exact details this week on how the pier will be run but it's going to be very close to this list below

•  

  • A maximum of 10 members
  • 24 Collaborated jobs inputted into the system for the year, inputted 6 per QTR, Potential candidates for the following QTR are suggested by Roboscopes+members & voted on by during the previous QTR
  • each member will receive 6x personal job credits per month (up to 3 hours based upon our SNR calculator)
  • Each job has to be run through our SNR calculator in order to calculate imaging time required so if it only needs 2 hours then that's what it gets but likewise if it needs 5 hours then it will tell you (that's then 2 credits)
  • Use our sub length calculator to get the sub lengths for each filter
  • Use our filter calculator to determine the filter split
  • All data will be checked by Roboscopes staff before release and will be re-inputted if affected by haze etc
  • All data is kept on the server for a rolling 12-month period, so new members never miss out on older jobs that have been done a few months before
  • Member use more of the sky to allow for moon avoidance over the month rather than image in just one area
  • If we find the pier does have extra headroom, we could add some standard jobs, mosaics or collaborations into the pier & the odd "Steve special" job.

€900 per year per member

I think this is ridiculously good value.

That is my only feedback.
