Come geek out with us and see how robotic telescope operated from afar are used to explore the stars! Frustration with cloudy skies and light pollution are driving more and more amateur astrophotographers to turn to robotic telescopes at remote sites with dark skies. This talk describes how to do this, and that factors involved in selecting a suitable remote site.
