$20

Base Tier

Standard donations for those who wish to contribute to the project.

$50

Hyades Tier

The Hyades Cluster, one of the most well-studied open star clusters is within 50 parsecs of the Solar System. This donation will help us jump 50 parsecs closer to achieving our end goal.

$160

Light Gathering Power Tier

Our telescope has an aperture radius of 160 mm. The area of this aperture is a measure of its light-gathering power. Therefore a donation of $160 will push us closer to achieving our goal.

$444

Pleiades Tier

The beautiful Pleiades star cluster is 444 light-years away! We'd be able to clearly see it with this telescope. Incidentally, in Japanese, the Pleiades cluster is called the Subaru.

$1,320

Lambda Orionis Tier

The beautiful binary star Lambda Orionis is 1,320 light years away. With your help, we would be able to observe it!

$5,300

Supernova Tier

The extraordinarily bright binary star WR 140 is located at a distance of 5,300 light years, and may be about to go supernova. With your help, our students would be able to observe this beautiful star before it vanishes.
