Tele-Station2 Roll Off Roof Observatories...packed with
features not found in any other observatories available.
A revolutionary, streamlined, esthetically pleasing design.
Used by professional organizations such as
NASA, European
Space Agency, Mitre Corporation and Universities.
Built to withstand harsh environments
Worldwide Installation and
Shipping Available |
Included Features of the
Tele-Station 2 Roll Off Roof Observatory
Construction
All aluminum construction with
Aluminum panels making it 100% corrosion resistant and maintenance
free, no painting or staining required, ever!
Aluminum panels are available in 12
colors, standard.
Roof is white for low heat
absorption.
Lockable, keeping your astronomy
equipment safe.
Do it yourself installation. You
don't need to hire a contractor to install our observatories!!
Installation is a snap due to our modular design!
Unlike observatories made from wood, the all aluminum Tele-Station
will not warp and sag over time
Wind Test:
The Tele-Station2 was wind tested on November 3, 2007. This test was
accomplished in another application, our
Star Traveler Mobile
Observatory. Both the Tele-Station2 and the Star Traveler are
built with the same components and design features both on the main
building portion and roof. The Star Traveler was wind tested when it
was driven from Chicago, Illinois to College Station, Texas, a trip
of 1100 miles, at an average speed of 60 MPH, on an average of 6
hour intervals.
Unique features of the Tele-Station2:
Unlike other roll-off roof
observatories, the Tele-Station 2 can be totally disassembled and
re-assembled in the event that you have to relocate it!
Easy installation! Walls and roof
bolt together using one (1) tool, a supplied Allen wrench!!!
Unique roof design. Aluminum roof
comes in 5 sections, and have overlapping seams for a complete
waterproof design.
No permanent roller track supports,
our observatories have extendable track supports that roll out with
the roof making it more esthetically pleasing.
The Tele-Station can be operated as
a fully remote observatory system with the
Pier-Tech 2 or
Pier-Tech 3 along with
our
Advanced Observatory Control Software & Hardware from the
comfort of your own home or from another part of the world, with our
optional Wi-Fi or Cell tower communication module.
With the use of our patented height
adjustable pier, you can raise the telescope to view above the
Tele-Station2 wall. This allows unobstructed views from the horizon
to the zenith in all directions.
Roll Off Roof Observatory Advantages:
Unlike a dome, the Tele-Station2
does not require complex motors and electronics to move the roof as
the telescope follows the sky.
The Tele-Station reaches thermal
equilibrium faster than a dome, and does not create a chimney effect
as hot air rises out the open slit of the dome.
Permits an unobstructed view of the
sky for naked eye observations and wide field piggyback
astrophotography.
The Tele-Station2 can be dressed to
match your home. Our unique aluminum framing has slots that run
along the entire Tele-Station sidewalls allowing custom cladding to
be mounted to it.
Additional Features:
The Tele-Station 2 can also be
operated manually.
Just tell us what type of telescope
and mount you have, and we will take care of the rest.
Can be anchored to any type of
floor with our supplied anchoring system.
