Welcome to the Faulkes Telescope Project. If you have ever wanted to use a professional telescope, but without having to go across the world to use it yourself, then this is the place for you!

The Faulkes Telescope Project gives you access to a network of telescopes located around the world, which can be remotely controlled by any of our users from their house, classroom or pretty much anywhere. If this is something you’re interested in, then follow these simple guides to learn how to use the telescopes. To go to any of the guides, simply click one of the links below:
