We have some fabulous news to share regarding our exciting projects at the Slooh Mt. Teide Observatory!….
The new domes, and the fantastic new Slooh Half Metre Telescope, have arrived on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. This is the location of Slooh’s World class observatory site on Mt. Teide, high above the clouds at an altitude of 7,743ft. Work has already begun in preparation for the installation of the new systems and equipment.
Initially, we’ll be working on the installation and testing of the new Slooh V3 software - a development of the existing patented Slooh system. This work will be carried out using Dome 2 at Teide which will be taken offline during the upgrade process. However, live missions will run normally each night on Teide Dome 1! For progress reports and more detailed information on this, and other exciting projects, see the “Slooh Observatory” section of the the Slooh Forums.
We also have news regarding the new Slooh Chile Observatory…. The resolution of the network issue at the Chile site appears to be in hand, and as such we expect to launch Chile in the very near future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this tremendously busy and exciting time for Slooh while we improve and greatly extend the Slooh service!
Paul, Mathew and the rest of the Slooh Team!
Great news that the equipment has arrived, I bet you can’t wait to get your hands on it!
What I’m REALLY looking forward to is the first Live Mission to be broadcast from the new Half Metre ’scope! Although it will be great working with such superb quality equipment
