We watch the sky so nothing gets missed.

Twelve backyards, one schedule.

Apogee started in 2018 as three volunteers comparing notes on a shared spreadsheet. It is still volunteer-run — the difference is the spreadsheet is now a proper scheduling system linking telescopes on four continents.

Every observer sets their own hours. The network software just makes sure no two people burn a clear night on the same target while a dozen others go unwatched.

• Twelve independently owned telescopes, one shared schedule
• Every observation logged publicly, confirmed or not
• No membership fee, no equipment requirement beyond a working setup
