Spark

The founders built observatory software, then packed the same plate-solving into a tube people could carry upstairs.

Friction

Amateur astronomy still starts with frustration.
Atlas Night is an instrument, not a toy, that can live on a small balcony.

Bet

A telescope that teaches itself your sky.

Build

A refractor, a cooled sensor, and on-board stacking.

The catalog is on the device.

Wi-Fi is for sharing a still, not for seeing.
