We design and hand build tilt, backfocus and filter gear in Northeast Oregon, and test every design under our own dual domes. Hundreds of imagers on almost every continent now shoot with it.
Everything we make comes out of our own imaging. With fast optics and big sensors, getting round stars in every corner comes down to tilt, backfocus and how you change filters.
So we designed for it. The Photon Cage puts 4-corner tilt, independent backfocus and a removable filter slider in one device that mounts to your camera, so it works on almost any telescope. The Electronic Photon Cage does the same with motors, for remote rigs.
Four ways we help you get round stars.
Tilt, backfocus and filter sliders in one device, plus RASA 8 and RASA 11 systems.
Plan targets, sync with N.I.N.A., grade subs and map tilt and curvature in one platform.
Custom rig builds and engineering, sky-tested under our domes before they ship.
Tested write-ups on tilt, backfocus and processing, and the images we shoot.
Two 2.2 m domes under Bortle 3–4 skies near Pendleton, Oregon. It’s where we image, where every design is tested and where customer rigs are sky-tested before they ship. We also image remotely with our partners at Deep Sky Chile.
Hand built by us in Oregon, tested in our dual-dome observatory, and trusted by hundreds of imagers on almost every continent.
