What they did
Since October, u/SirMeeseekz has handed Claude the whole job of observing with robotic telescopes rented by the hour on StellarDock, at sites in Chile, Spain and Utah. The poster says they do not touch anything. Claude chooses the target, checks the Moon's position and how high the object will climb, picks the filters and exposure lengths, books the time slot, and fetches the frames the next morning. It then stacks the frames with Python scripts it wrote itself and produces the final image. Each telescope is a fixed rig, so choosing a scope also fixes the camera.
How it went
The first week went to science: over three nights Claude measured 57 positions of 8 asteroids and submitted them to the Minor Planet Center, and it has been running dawn sweeps near the Sun looking for comets. The poster says a few comet, asteroid and trans-Neptunian candidates are waiting on designation. Later runs produced images of the Helix Nebula, Orion's Belt, the Tarantula Nebula and the Orion Nebula, with exposures from 30 seconds on Orion to 300 seconds on the Tarantula. The Helix came out monochrome because only a hydrogen-alpha filter was used. The processing scripts are not yet good enough to publish.
Worth knowing
The poster gives no cost per session, and the harness Claude ran in is not named. The candidate discoveries are unconfirmed until designated. A commenter asked about calibration frames (darks, flats, biases) and suggested PixInsight for processing, so stacking quality may lag dedicated tools. Most of the 134 comments argue about calling the AI "she" rather than the setup.
