Is there any site or software where u can control a telescope on the ground and look at planets in space?

Question

i dont have a telescope cant afford one

Answer 1

Yes, almost all serious research telescopes are controlled this way. There are a handful of amateur telescopes which are internet controllable.

but most require a user name and password, and are for authorized users only. The ones that don't are usually very very busy.

You can see an example of one at

and a description of the technology at

Answer 2

Yes, but you must have a compatable telescope. You can purchase an entry-level telescope with pre-programed coordinates for around $300 at any scientific supply company or maybe even your local sporting goods store. Keep Looking Up! Ciao!
