Our Solution – Unlock the Universe
From optical instruments and accessories to high-payload mounts and turnkey remote observatories, we deliver tailored solutions for astro-amateurs and professionals alike.
Turn-Key Observatory Solutions
Turn-key observatories (2–8 meters) are available in both classic slit-dome and AllSky dome designs. Each system includes every step required to achieve a fully functional remote or robotic observatory: consultation on dome models and site selection, recommendations for mounts, telescopes, and accessories, as well as transport, installation, and training.
A wide range of electronic features can be integrated—from traditional manual operation to fully remote, robotic, and autonomous control. Every observatory is customized to your needs and suitable for all applications, including amateur astronomy, education, universities, and scientific research.

Consultation & Planning
CONSULTATION & FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
The process begins with initial discussions to understand the client’s needs, desired functionalities, and budget. This involves gathering information about the location, environmental conditions (e.g., local weather, climate zone), and existing infrastructure. The goal is to determine the most suitable and up-to-date solution, ensuring compatibility of all components.
ASTRONOMICAL DOMES
ASTRONOMICAL DOMES
Domes are specialized structures built to protect expensive telescopes and instruments from harsh environments (weather, wind, dust) while providing a means to observe the sky. The two primary types of dome designs cater to different operational priorities.
The Classic Slit Dome and the AllSky Dome meet different observatory needs.
Classic Slit Domes rotate and use a narrow slit, offering superb protection from wind and light for observing specific objects.
AllSky Domes often remain stationary, opening fully for a 360-degree, unobstructed view. They provide superior thermal equalization, ideal for automated systems, but offer less wind protection.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
We guarantee the highest standards for your observatory installation. Our team ensures proper setup and alignment. We also provide comprehensive training to all end-users, ensuring your team is fully prepared and capable of operating the new observatory systems effectively.
SENSORS & SURVEILLANCE
SENSORS & SURVEILLANCE INTEGRATION
We offer configurations integrating various sensor and surveillance equipment into your solution. A dedicated rain sensor can detect the first drops of precipitation, automatically triggering the dome to close and protecting the equipment. Meanwhile, the integrated surveillance system actively monitors the environment and the condition of the observatory gear, enhancing safety and ensuring operational readiness.
ROBOTIC TELESCOPES & MOUNT SYSTEM
ROBOTIC TELESCOPES & MOUNT SYSTEM
We then recommend the ideal equipment, including the telescope, mount, and accessories. This is followed by transport and professional installation of your pillar, mount, and telescope setup. The project culminates with thorough end-user training, ensuring seamless remote operation.
ACCESSORIES & FILTERS
ACCESSORIES & FILTERS
A complete observatory setup requires a variety of complex astronomical accessories. We simplify this by meticulously selecting optimal, high-quality accessories tailored precisely to your specific telescope and mount configuration. This includes choosing the correct adapters, mounting plates, and other essential components like eyepieces and viewfinders, ensuring your entire setup is fully functional and performs to its maximum potential.
