Included Features of the Tele-Station 3 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!
Wind Test:
The Tele-Station3 was wind tested on November 3, 2007. This test was accomplished in another
application, our Star Traveler Mobile Observatory. Both the Tele-Station3 and the Star Traveler
are built with the same components and design features both on the main wall 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-Station3:
Unlike other roll-off roof observatories, the Tele-Station 3 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-Station3 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-Station3 wall. This allows unobstructed views from the horizon to the zenith in all
directions.
Roll Off Roof Observatory Advantages:
Unlike a dome, the Tele-Station3 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-Station3 can be dressed to match your home. Our unique aluminum framing has slots that
run along the entire Tele-Station3 sidewalls allowing custom cladding to be mounted to it.
Additional Features:
The Tele-Station 3 can also be operated manually.
Just tell us what type of telescope and mount you have, and we will take care of the rest.
It can be anchored to any type of substructure.
