Ironwood Observatory

MPC Observatory Code F60

Welcome to the Ironwood Observatory website.

If you are looking for anything to do with automated observatories - whether it be using them, building them, repairing them, or just researching them - you have come to the right place.

My name is Ken Archer. Over the past ten years, I have dedicated my time to designing and building easy-to-use internet remote-operated observatories that can fit almost anyone's budget. There are actually two Ironwood Observatories - Ironwood Observatory and Ironwood Remote Observatory, located here in Hawaii.

Ironwood Observatory has been remote-controlled internationally from Japan, UK, Poland and Russia and from other US states such as Florida, Illinois and North Dakota.

New Additions

We are now pleased to announce a new and completely automated remote observatory. This is a complete system which includes an observatory, educational package and an ideal location. We are currently working on a web site for IRO and if you have any questions or wish to get a quote you can call the phone number listed below. We have designed a zero carbon observatory that does not require infrastructure to setup and maintain.

Products

Due to the absence of a common standard when it comes to automated observatories and their individual parts, I often found myself needing parts that were either sub-par, or simply didn't exist. Therefore, Ironwood Observatory offers a small product line of high-quality parts, professionally manufactured to meet the demands of a fully automated observatory. Find out more about our products here.
