Free Offer! GRAS announces, "Take your own deep space images for free"
Now GRAS adds G3 at New Mexico
Prompted by heavy popular demand, GRAS expands its FREE offer!
The newly added G3, (located in New Mexico, USA) has been added to G13, (Moorook Australia) to extend access to both the northern and southern hemispheres. This also expands the hours of service for more convenient access.
Register for free imaging - New! Now also in New Mexico, USA
http://gis.global-rent-a-scope.com/Register/register.aspx Anyone, with an Internet connected computer, located anywhere on the Earth, will be granted free access to GRAS-003 or GRAS-013, depending on the time of day.
Designed for ease of operation, even a child with little or no previous experience can take command of the controls of this ground-based remote astronomical telescope system. All GRAS remote telescope systems operate in a very similar concept to the Hubble space telescope, with the notable exception that these systems are ground based.
The elegant interface and simple to use controls will simply amaze visiting imagers. Those that take advantage of this free offer will be able to take personal control of the telescope system and capture their own deep space images. This is a special limited offer that may expire at any time.
Please be sure to check the time for the appropriate system prior to beginning your imaging sessions. Both telescope systems will only operate correctly when it is dark and with weather permitting.
To gain a greater insight as to how the GRAS remote astronomy network functions please click on the following link: http://gis.global-rent-a-scope.com/. The GRAS information Center is the portal to the entire network and also provides access to many other functions of the global network.
GRAS is the world's premiere Global Telescope Network. The network provides access to some of the highest-quality, professional-grade scientific and imaging systems available today. This includes, Takahashi, Paramount, Software Bisque, ACP, RC Optical, FLI, SBIG, Cyanogen, Astrodon and Custom Scientific.
GRAS subscribers have been deeply engaged in deep-space imaging, narrow-band deep-space imaging, research in areas like, asteroids, double-stars, variable stars, exoplanet, nova search, cannibalistic galaxies, gamma ray busters and comets.
Many subscribers have published their own papers on their respective research. Guided by our own research based support teams, GRAS members have collectively contributed thousands of observations to the many science information repositories around the globe.
Many members of GRAS and the RAS Observatory, in addition to taking deep space images, routinely perform the following research activities: Astrometry, Photometry, CCD Imaging, Remote Astronomy, Robotic Astronomy, Supernova, Variable stars, doubles star research, binary star research, eclipsing variables, comet research, asteroid hunting, Astrophotography, Galaxies, Nebula, Planet, Space, Minor planets, deep space, Gamma Ray Bursters, Astroimaging, astroimager, photography.
They use the following equipment to perform their activities: CCD cameras, scientific filters, technical experience, research, telescope mounts, optical systems, Paramount, Takahashi, SBIG, FLI, Astrophysics, CCD camera, and Photometrica, an online, software application for performing photometric measurements almost on the fly.

Learn about the new GRAS-011, a 16” ASA outfitted for imaging and research and also due to be available soon in Australia.
GRAS-006, a 16” RCOS equipped for Asteroid hunting will also be on line shortly in Australia.
GRAS-Direct CONTROL (GRAS-DC): Soon to be available in both the northern and southern hemispheres. For the discriminating imaging and research subscribers who demands the absolute best in total control without the capital outlay.
GRAS Hosting at RDO: Beat the light pollution…move your own system to Australia. This may be more reasonable than you might expect. Also become a GRAS Affiliate (restrictions may apply) and have GRAS help pay for your system.
