Control from anywhere
Plan targets, monitor mount and dome status, queue sessions, and stop the rig from Control Client on Windows or macOS — at home or traveling.
Solutions
Remote observatory solutions that actually run unattended
FRAOS (Fully Remote Automated Observatory System) is Borean Astro's answer to the hardest problem in astrophotography: operating a telescope reliably when you are not standing next to it. Schedule imaging, monitor weather, and intervene safely — from anywhere with an internet connection.
Station on the observatory PC
Borean Station runs the NINA agent, diagnostics, and autostart on the Windows machine at the pier. Your imaging PC stays on-site; you stay remote.
Private cloud hub per site
Each observatory gets its own tenant on Borean Astro cloud. No shared accounts, no port forwarding, no VPN tunnel to maintain.
Weather-aware automation
Cloud, rain, and wind gates keep sessions off the timeline when conditions fail. Closed dome? The queue waits until the sky clears.
Closed-loop safety
Emergency STOP halts sequences and parks the mount instantly. Role-based access on Pro and Ultra keeps teams accountable.
Works with NINA
FRAOS orchestrates NINA sequences remotely — filter plans, frame counts, project mode across multiple nights, and live progress in the dashboard.

- Solo imagers with a backyard observatory or remote dark-sky shed
