Lend a telescope

Have a Seestar or DWARF that spends many nights in its case? Make it available to the survey — for a few nights via remote device sharing, or for a longer period. Every extra telescope widens the patch of sky we can watch.

Offer a telescope

Smart Sky Survey is a private project, not a registered charity — donations cannot be issued a donation receipt.

More ways to help

The array design scales — more smart telescopes mean more sky covered per loop, or a shorter loop length for a tighter revisit cadence on the same region. There's room for collaborators at every level.

Astronomy enthusiasts

Contribute observing time, test with your own telescope, or help refine the tiling and control software.

Educational & research partners

Use the survey's data streams for teaching, citizen-science programs, or minor-planet and transient research.

Companies & sponsors

Support hardware expansion, hosting, or processing infrastructure — and help scale a growing, open sky-survey network.
