Define the observation
Identify the target, measurement and operating environment before choosing the instrument.
ABOUT CELESTRA
Engineering for
a clearer perspective.
Instruments, imaging platforms and connected observatory technologies for measuring, understanding and exploring the sky.
Explore our technologies
Our journey in astronomy technology began in 2010. Today, CELESTRA develops solutions for astronomical imaging, light-pollution measurement, sky and environmental monitoring, observatory automation and connected software.
We bring together practical observing experience, electronics, opto-mechanics and software engineering. Our focus spans individual instruments and the connections that turn them into an observing workflow.
Our engineering background also includes work in defence-industry and advanced technology projects, contributing experience in precision systems, integration and control.
OUR EXPERTISE
From the instrument
to the observing system.
Four connected areas of technology, each shaped around a different part of the observing task.
01 / IMAGING
Astronomical cameras ↗
Vision, Photon and Precision platforms for astronomical and scientific imaging.
02 / MEASUREMENTSky quality instruments ↗
SQM Lite, Pro and Zenit for portable surveys and fixed sky-brightness monitoring.
03 / CONDITIONSSky monitoring ↗
Sky imaging and environmental observations that add context to the observing site.
04 / INTEGRATIONObservatory systems ↗
Control electronics, dome operation and optical path selection for integrated workflows.
OUR APPROACH
Start with the application.
Match the configuration
Review model-specific capabilities, optics, power and supported interfaces together.
Plan the complete workflow
Consider acquisition, recorded data, software access and observatory integration as one system.
