## **Keeping Remote Observatories Powered and Protected**

Imaging sessions can stretch across several nights, and even a brief power outage can interrupt automation or risk sensitive equipment. To prevent that, **each DSP Remote observatory building is now equipped with an EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 battery backup system**. Installed between shore power and the building’s load center, the Delta Pro 3 switches seamlessly in milliseconds during an outage—keeping mounts, cameras, control PCs, and roof systems online without interruption. The result is a fully autonomous observatory network where uptime is measured in months, not nights.

## **Why We Chose the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3**

The **EcoFlow Delta Pro 3** delivers professional-grade reliability perfectly suited for a remote observatory environment. Each unit houses a **4 kWh LiFePO₄ battery pack**, capable of **4,000 W continuous output** and up to **8,000 W surge protection**—more than enough to power every critical system safely and quietly. With an **IP65-rated enclosure**, the Delta Pro 3 withstands dust and moisture common in desert environments, while its **Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity** allows DSP Remote staff to monitor voltage, load, and runtime remotely. Smart power management maintains operations for **four or more hours**, ensuring every building continues imaging through typical utility interruptions in Animas, New Mexico. Combined with redundant Starlink internet and automated roof controls, this upgrade forms one of the most resilient hosting infrastructures available.

## **Uninterrupted Imaging Under Bortle 1 Skies**

For astrophotographers, educators, and research teams alike, every hour under **Bortle 1 skies** counts. With a Delta Pro 3 backing each building, your remote observatory remains powered, connected, and protected—no matter what happens to the grid. DSP Remote’s battery-backed hosting delivers the perfect combination of dark-sky access and power reliability, giving you peace of mind that your data and equipment will stay safe while you capture the universe from afar.
