What Our Members Say

The crew at DSP provide quick and responsive service and were there when I needed them during the installation process. And the skies are even better!

Wow! Dark skies make all the difference! My images are limited only by my lack of Pixinsight skills. The Technical support at DSP-R is excellent and they will assist you with equipment issues and processing issues. My images have progressed by leaps and bounds since placing my 6" refractor at DSP-R. I can't recommend DSP-R enough. They are great for seasoned astrophotographers and intermediate beginners like myself!!

I cannot say enough great things about DSP Remote and the site in New Mexico. The skies are as dark as it gets, the infrastructure is rock solid, and Ed is genuinely great to work with—supportive, responsive, and hands-on when needed. Getting started was straightforward, and it’s reassuring knowing I can visit the site and work on my rig directly if I want. If you’re looking for a remote hosting solution that actually delivers on its promises, DSP Remote is worth a serious look.
