The Remote Imaging Course will make your first step into a remote observatory easy. Become familiar with what you need to create a remote rig, get tips for working with remote observatories, and learn how to control everything from home or halfway around the world.
On top of that, also get familiar about how to use rented equipment from anywhere in the world, or how to download professional data from NASA!
This course covers all you need to know about Remote astrophotography so you can get all the knowledge you need before shipping your expensive gear to an observatory. Your instructors, Antoine and Dalia of Galactic Hunter, will help you through the entire process so that your first night using your telescope remotely is succesful.

Not necessarily. You will need a full rig if you intend to ship a telescope to a remote observatory, but you can still image remotely without one! The second section of this course covers remote astrophotography using rental gear (without breaking the bank) and the third one covers downloading data from NASA! You can go through these two sections and learn before owning your own telescope.
Both! The course will teach beginners everything about remote imaging with simple, easy-to-follow lessons. On top of that, the course also contains in-depth lessons that cover advanced topics, perfect for experienced astrophotographers looking to become even better in the hobby.
Courses that are purchased individually give you lifetime access with no expiry date. Bundles on the other hand, which include all courses at a low price, have a small yearly renewal fee. More info on that can be found on the bundle pages.
