The Technology

Powered by the
Unistellar Odyssey

Every Stargazer Hire unit uses the world's most capable consumer smart telescope — co-developed with Nikon and trusted by NASA's Citizen Science program.

Aperture 85mm Nikon Mirror
Sky Catalog 5,000+ Objects
Setup Time Under 5 minutes
Star Database 37 Million Stars
App Control iOS & Android
Battery Life 5+ Hours

Deep Dark Technology filters out light pollution in real time — meaning the experience works beautifully even from urban rooftops, winery gardens, and coastal resorts, not just remote dark-sky sites.

You Book Online

Choose your package, pick your dates, and confirm your delivery address. Daily or weekly rates. Same-day bookings available subject to availability.

Guests Explore the Sky

The telescope connects to a smartphone app and autonomously targets galaxies, nebulae, planets, and star clusters. Guests capture real images and share them instantly — no training needed.
