About SELENO
Seleno: explore the night sky, and control a telescope from anywhere.
A free star map, remote telescope control and an astrophotography album in one place. Works online, or offline under the stars.
Software and firmware complete. Hardware in final assembly. First light coming soon.

What it is
Seleno is a complete telescope system: the control software, plus the motor mounts and electronics that drive the telescope. Together they let you control a network of telescopes, at any time, from anywhere on the globe. Image the planet, star, nebula or galaxy of your choice from the comfort of your own home.
Seleno's automated system runs observation programmes without human intervention, capturing all the different frames and image types needed to produce stunning astrophotography. A live camera view, fine camera settings, histograms and individual motor controls are also available from the interface.
A core focus of Seleno is making astrophotography more accessible to the wider population, who may be interested in space but struggle with the complex systems currently available. An advanced mode is also available for more experienced users.
Seleno's star map makes finding and tracking objects simple. Search for an object by name, and the telescope will slew to face it and track it across the sky, keeping up with the rotation of the earth.
Seleno doesn't need the internet at the telescope, either. Each telescope has a small built in screen and buttons, so it can be set up and operated on the spot, even at a remote dark site with no signal.
Finally, a booking system lets you rent time on telescopes around the globe, so the object you want to image is always up from at least one of them.
