Skynet has a new look

Welcome to the new Skynet website!

We hope you find the site to be more intuitive and fun to use. We've included a new interface for making observation requests, a time management/tracking system for telescope owners and group administrators, as well as the ability to expand your observations into the radio with the Green Bank 20m Radio Antenna.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send them to the Skynet team via the contact form. If you prefer to continue using the old page, you can still access it here.

PROMPT-SSO is now available

Skynet recently expanded its global footprint with the opening of our newest site at Siding Springs Observatory in Australia. All four of the new 17-inch Planewave CDK telescopes were installed on Paramount ME mounts and placed inside a 20-foot Astrohaven dome.

These telescopes should all now be fully operational, so feel free to include them in your observation requests. Let us know if you have any questions!

Optical and Radio Observation Requests

It is now possible for all Skynet users to submit both optical and radio observation requests using the new website interface. Try out the SkyViewer tool which shows you the current sky as seen from our various telescope sites around the world. You can use its built-in catalogs to find new and interesting targets which are currently visible at our observatories.

To add an optical observation, click the 'My Observatory' link above and choose 'Add Optical Observation' from the navigation bar on the left. To add a radio observation, click the 'My Observatory' link above and choose 'Add Radio Observation'.
