Tomorrow evening (Sunday, 7/16/23) at 9:30 EDT/6:30PDT, I will be doing a presentation about Remote Imaging at Obstech in Chile on The Astro-Imaging Channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOmyoKMDnpc[b]). [/b]  It will cover all the gory details of how to get your equipment there, what it costs, how to get there yourself, what you need, and a photo tour of the observatories on the mountain.  It should be fun!  So I hope that you can join us.

I've prepared a little handout that goes with the presentation.  This covers some of my thoughts on best practices for setting up and running a remote telescope.  If you have additions or comments, I'd love to hear them.  Here it is:
