Twelve telescopes.
One target.

Twenty-two soon.

Point a fleet of instruments at a single object and gather in one clear night what a lone scope needs weeks for — or weave a super-mosaic across the sky. From one of Europe's finest dark-sky sites.

The array, as one instrument

Two ways to use twelve telescopes

Every scope is an autonomous smart telescope. Together, software turns them into one instrument — and you choose how to spend the fleet on each object.

Concentrate

All scopes, one object

Aim the whole fleet at the same target. Twelve scopes collect in parallel, and we combine every sub into a single deep stack — the integration of many nights, in one.

12× integration per clear night
Mosaic

Each scope, one tile

Split a wide region into tiles, one per scope. Each frame is plate-solved and the panels are feathered into one giant mosaic no single Seestar could ever frame.

up to 3×3 tiles · auto-stitched
Real light, real pipeline

Science-grade, not snapshots

This isn't a render. Every frame that comes off the fleet is calibrated, plate-solved and stacked — then delivered to you, all in FITS.

  • 60-second subs, stacked deep. We've collected 191 × 60 s on a single field — over three hours of integration — plate-solved and calibrated, in one site.
  • Astrometric truth. Every frame solved with astrometry.net; WCS written into the FITS.
  • You get everything. The raw science FITS, an automatically-processed FITS, and a JPG preview — plus an AI field note on your object.

Built in-house

Software made for this — and only this

There's no off-the-shelf platform behind this service. Every layer — fleet orchestration, scheduling by sky and weather, automatic plate-solving, mosaic stitching, processing and delivery — is custom software, written from scratch for this observatory.

The fairest part

We don't charge you for clouds

When the roof closes for weather during astronomical night, those hours don't vanish — they return to your account and run later on idle scopes. You pay for sky, not for forecasts. Your targets are guaranteed to complete, however many nights it takes.

The fleet

Twelve now. Twenty-two soon.

Twelve telescopes are live and polar-aligned this summer; ten more are on the way. Each rented scope is yours alone for the months you book — never shared, never queued. Spots are limited and filling as we grow.
