“La Filosofia è scritta in questo grandissimo libro che continuamente ci sta aperto innanzi a gli occhi (io dico l’Universo)”
(Galileo Galilei, Il Saggiatore, Cap. VI)

“Philosophy is written in this grand book which ever lies before our eyes -- I mean the Universe”

IF YOU EVER...

wished to see again the Milky Way
or lay down onto the grass and rediscover Constellations with your kids
or spend one full evening counting Falling Stars

If you ever...
fancied recording a faint Nebula in narrow-band
or calmly sketching a Planet at the bino-viewer
or making a video of a Satellite transit

If you ever...
wished to see the Enke gap on Saturn's rings
or grasp surface details on the Medicean Planets
or follow the whole profile of the Alpine Valley on the Moon

If you ever...
wished to have 6 deg of fov while hunting for Comets
or needed recording Solar phænomena in H-alpha with sub-arcsec resolution
or wanted to survey Planets and Double Stars with observatory-class instruments

If you ever...
got something interesting to observe and study
or wanted to re-discover large format chemical astro-photography
or had a special project in mind but lack equipment or people helping you

If you ever...
fancied seeing how Mars looked like in an original telescope of Schiaparelli era
or dreamed to be on top of a hill with no electricity and follow the Sky with a classic weight-driven telescope
or - why not? - just wished to take a break in the Nature, enjoy a quiet dinner and talk with friends around a fireplace...
