Remote Astronomical Society Observatory, USA
RASO is the "home" observatory for many of our observers. Hosted by New Mexico Skies and near such professional observatories as the Sloan Digital Survey Observatory and the National Solar Observatory. The observatory features six Takahashi telescopes, including two Mewlon 30cm cassegrainians (GRAS 001, 002), two Epsilon 25cm astrographs (GRAS004, 005) and one Takahashi TOA 15cm apo refractor (GRAS003) and one Takahaski FSQ 106 apo refractor (GRAS014). Three of these scopes feature photometric filters and are primarily used for scientific observations (GRAS 001, 002 and 004). One (GRAS005) has BVI photometric and a variety of broad and narrow-band nonphotometric filters and is dual use. The others include a variety of broad and narrow-band filters.
Moorook Observatory, Australia
The Moorook Observatory is between Adelaide and Mildura in SA, Australia, Three scopes are presently available, a 12.5" RCOS (GRAS008) with a variety of broad and narrow-band non-photometric filters and a photometric V-filter, a 10" RCOS (GRAS 015) with photometric and narrow-band filters and a Takahashi FSQ 106 (GRAS 012) with non-photometric broad and narrow-band filters.
Bareket Observatory , Israel
Bareket Observatory is located in Macabim, Israel. It features a 15" astrograph (GRAS007) and a variety of non-photometric broad and narrow-band filters, a spectrographic filter and B and V filters for photometry.
