Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
Clear expectations for remote astronomy.
Do I need to own or ship a telescope?
No. We supply the Seestar telescope at our Xinglong base. This service is for renting our equipment, not hosting customer-owned equipment.
Will I share my telescope with other customers?
No. Each paying customer receives exclusive use of one designated Seestar telescope during their active rental period.
Can I use it from the United States or Europe?
The service is intended for international customers. Actual connectivity, app compatibility, and access instructions must be verified during onboarding for your location and device.
Can I observe whenever I want?
You may request access throughout your rental period, but actual observing depends on nighttime at Xinglong, weather, safety restrictions, equipment availability, and sky visibility. Continuous imaging is not guaranteed.
What telescope model is included?
Our planned fleet is based on the Seestar S30 Pro. The exact model and remote access workflow will be confirmed before your rental begins.
What happens if it is cloudy?
Clouds are a normal part of astronomy. Before payment, we will share the applicable weather, downtime, cancellation, and refund policy so you can decide whether the plan is right for you.
Is there a free trial?
We may offer a limited number of promotional trial places during launch. These are not guaranteed; contact us to ask about current availability and terms.
