Engineered for Performance and Protection

Constructed from durable, PU-coated polyester, our portable observatories combine a reflective silver outer layer that deflects sunlight to keep interiors cooler, with a dark inner fabric for a completely blacked-out environment. This dual-layer design blocks unwanted light, creating the ideal setting for uninterrupted astrophotography, ensuring you capture clear, high-quality images in any condition.

Removable Roof for Adaptable Protection

Crafted with flexibility in mind, these portable observatories feature a removable roof that offers quick, adaptable protection from the elements. By day, it provides essential sun shielding, keeping you and your equipment cool and protected. In rain or harsh weather, it ensures reliable coverage to keep everything safe and dry. When night falls, simply remove the roof to open up an unobstructed view of the stars, perfect for stargazing and astrophotography.

Dual Doors for Airflow and Protection

The observatory features dual-layer doors at each end for optimised airflow and easy access. The inner mesh layer allows fresh air in while keeping bugs out, perfect for staying comfortable when the roof is on. The outer door, made from durable, weather-resistant material, provides full protection from the elements. Both doors roll up and secure easily, giving you quick access and a hassle-free setup.

Adjustable Wind Shield For Any Condition

Minimise wind interference with the adjustable wind shield, an available upgrade for both the Octans and Phoenix observatories. Designed to ensure stability for telescopes and cameras in challenging weather, it’s easily customisable to suit your needs. Set it at various heights and angles to adapt to the wind direction, protecting your equipment and keeping it steady. Constructed with durable telescoping aluminium poles, this practical addition integrates seamlessly with your setup, allowing you to capture sharp, clear images no matter the conditions.

Heavy Duty Floor Material

Crafted from rugged 500gsm PVC canvas, the heavy-duty floor material provides a tough, weatherproof base that shields your equipment from abrasion, moisture, and rough terrain. This durable, water-resistant layer ensures a dry, stable foundation, offering long-lasting protection in all environments. Designed to withstand the elements, it enhances comfort and security, giving you peace of mind during your stargazing sessions.
