Best equipment, dark skies, easy access

The AART is an affiliate of the Global Rent-a-Scope network. GRAS is a proven performer in providing a quality Astrophotography platform from sites that have some of the darkest skies in the world.

Used by professionals and amateurs alike, the GRAS Telescopes provide access to the best quality equipment at a realistic and affordable cost.

AART is a dynamic example of Connected Astronomy, using the power of the internet and collaboration to provide quality access to space’s deepest sky, moving and variable objects.

People often connect with the passion for astronomy for the first time looking through the eye piece of a real Telescope. For this reason AART is considering sourcing a few large dobsonian telescopes for astronomy events, school activities, and star nights.
