Hi Rich!

Well, you join as a member for US$39.98 and get 120 mins of telescope time per month. Everything is done via web browser. If you need more time you can purchase it online. More info can be found here: https://www.arnierosner.com/are/index.htm

Try it! It's easy... but you have to watch the FOV, I was too ambitious when trying out the Ghost of Jupiter:
