Sumerian Optics

The Celano telescope controller is now available at Sumerian optics. This is a new manufacturer of very high quality telescopes based in the Netherlands. They offer hand-made Dobsonian telescopes in different sizes. Sumerian Optics currently offers three Dobsonian models in several sizes. Pictured is a 16 inch Canopus model fitted with our system.
