Instrument Multi Port IMP85

This device is a direct spinoff of our remote observatory developments.

The ability to get multiple benefits from a telescope opens up whole new worlds for remote observatories as well as amateur astronomers or regular observatories.

A remote observatory never has to be reconfigured again: A unit can now be equipped with a deepsky astro camera, a planetary camera and a spectrograph without having to request conversion time from the staff.An observatory with public shows can finally leave the camera permanently on the main telescope and still use it for observations with guests without any problems. After the guided tours, there is no time necessary for cleaning up and rebuilding the equipment - the telescope can be used immediately for astrophotography at the touch of a button. The possibilities of this system are as diverse as the fields of work in astronomy.
 

Important note: On request, the product is available in approx. 4-8 weeks. If you are interested, please send us an enquiry incl. contact details by email.

• Enables the use of up to three instruments at the focal plane of a telescope.
• Designed, manufactured and assembled in Germany
