Slooh is a great site, its the only way to see live images of the sky without having to use your own telescope, from the comfort of your office chair. Using your own telescope is great, but not always practical due to weather, expense, light pollution etc. And as Slooh continues to add new observatories around the globe, and adds new features, it just gets better and better.

The Slooh site is a nightly visit for me. I have not found anything as economical and user friendly in astronomy as this site. Slooh's extra features of interactive chat and nightly science radio makes learning astronomy a virtual star party 7 nights a week.

There's no better remote observing site available. NOWHERE can you find one place that allows you practically unlimited access to 4 scopes (more coming VERY soon), a forum, chat-room, your own web-site, + almost nightly radio shows from amateurs & professionals alike. All this at VERY affordable prices. Slooh is simply the best telescope investment available anywhere.

I work for more than 4 years with the Slooh telescopes and made a lot of discoveries including supernovae. The quality is less than the professionals but the price is low. You can see the result on my site www.stevens-online.be/deepskyalbum.

Here's a little better SLOOH image of the Eagle Nebula than the one linked in the main article: http://www.myslooh.com/view_imgid.php?i=509145

With constantly varying real conditions throughout the year and through each evening, you won't necessarily get the best possible performance at any given moment night, but then, that's part of the joy of a live experience!

Hello :)

Lots of folks love Slooh, that's great for introductory astronomy, its a wonderful commercial venture too.

But global rent a scope is the best next step when a passionate astronomy 'passenger' wants to become a driver. I've used them for about 2 years and I have access to a bunch of telescopes I could never afford or justify to actually own :)

I don't mind paying a little for full control and nice data.

You gets what you pays for.. :)
