Your telescope's raw data,
safe and reachable from anywhere.

PhotonKeep moves every raw frame off your telescope into durable cloud storage, automatically. Browse your nights, download at full speed, and never lose a subframe to a full memory card or a slow connection at the observatory again.

Automatic off-telescope sync

A small agent on the observatory network copies each new frame the moment your telescope writes it. No cables, no manual transfers, nothing to remember.

Permanent raw storage

Every subframe is kept in full, exactly as captured. Reprocess a target years later with better techniques, or stack across nights you thought were lost.

Fast downloads from anywhere

Served from a global content network, not the observatory's shared uplink. Pull a whole night in one click, or script it with wget, curl, or rclone.

How it works

  1. 1

    Your telescope captures

    Image as you always do. PhotonKeep watches for new frames on the local network.

  2. 2

    Frames sync to the cloud

    Each frame is uploaded once, verified byte-for-byte, and filed by observing night and target. Interrupted transfers resume on their own.

  3. 3

    You browse and download

    Sign in from anywhere to see your archive, download single frames or whole nights, and keep your local storage clear.
