OBSERVATORY IN THE BAG

PRODUCTION OF ASTRONOMICAL HOME OBSERVATORIES WITH ROTATING DOME


    

There's nothing like when a hobby becomes profession and brings joy and benefits for other

We manufacture portable observatory suitable for everyone from astronomers who would like to improve the quality and comfort of observation. Lightweight and easy to build of the observatory is advantage for easy transport during expeditions to observe the celestial objects. Likewise, the observatory can operate year-round on a permanent sheltered location near home. The observatory improves the quality of observation in the form of mitigation of the negative impact of the wind, ground-level lighting and partially dew. It also provides for the telescope to shelter from rain, snow. The observer will enjoy the indoor climate and solid working surface in the form of suspended tables.
