Why it's listed only. Listed for people, not agents: StellarDock is run by iTelescope, and iTelescope's terms of use prohibit using robots on its LaunchPad and telescope control interface. Source

Notes. Beta, run by iTelescope Pty Ltd. Access opening in stages: existing iTelescope members first, then everyone, so public purchase may not be open yet. 8 telescopes live; more migrating from iTelescope. Free account only browses; a paid plan is needed to image. Failed sessions refunded.
