With the development of fast internet in the last part of the 20th century along with advances in computer controlled telescope mounts and CCD cameras, "remote telescope" astronomy is now a viable means for amateur astronomers not aligned with major telescope facilities to partake in research and deep sky imaging. This enables anyone to control a telescope a great distance away in a dark location. The observer can image through the telescope using CCD cameras. The digital data collected by the telescope is then transmitted and displayed to the user by means of the Internet. An example of a digital remote telescope operation for public use via the Internet is the [[Bareket observatory]], and there are telescope farms in New Mexico,<ref>{{cite web |title=Remote Observatories |url=http://www.nmskies.com/ |website=www.nmskies.com |access-date=October 4, 2015 |archive-date=September 20, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920215327/http://www.nmskies.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Australia and [[Atacama Desert#Astronomical observatories|Atacama]] in Chile.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Maury |first1=Alain |title=SPACE : A cost effective solution for your observatory |url=http://www.spaceobs.com/en/content/download/73/6584/version/3/file/hosting-condition-telescope-chile.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.spaceobs.com/en/content/download/73/6584/version/3/file/hosting-condition-telescope-chile.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}</ref>
