I am relatively affluent and I would like to help with the concam project. Do you accept donations?
A. Yes. So far our sponsors are exclusively organizations, primarily the National Science Foundation, but also including NASA and Michigan Technological University. This does not preclude, however, affluent individuals from sponsoring individual concams and/or our concam project as a whole. We would be willing to name individual concams after sponsors. There is a long history of private sponsors in astronomy, with many telescopes bearing the names of large sponsors (for example: Keck, Yerkes, etc.). So for $20K, you could sponsor a single concam2, which could then be known as the “Your Name Here” concam. This would be acknowledged with a plaque on that concam and on the main concam.net page. Organizations can also sponsor concams. Sponsoring a concam would allow you a say in where that concam is located. Currently, however, we will insist that data taken with this concam be public domain, and that it be posted on concam.net.
