Astrophysics - Webservatory
Getting Close to the Stars – with the world’s first fully automated telescope control.
The only web platform for
fully automatic telescope control
Webservatory® is built on our modular Astro Bric Stack – a flexible and scalable software platform for controlling and managing astronomical systems. It enables seamless integration and centralized control of various telescopes and instruments, regardless of their location or manufacturer. With its open architecture, existing systems can be efficiently integrated, automated, and optimized.
Your telescope on the web
With Webservatory®, both professional and amateur astronomers can do everything remotely that once required them to be physically present at a telescope. From real-time observations and capturing stunning images of celestial objects to executing automated observation sequences and tracking satellites—everything is seamlessly possible via the web.
An open system with extension potential

How Webservatory works?
With Webservatory®, you experience astronomy as authentically as if you were standing under the night sky at a telescope.
Through a modern, intuitive user interface, you can control your telescope directly from your browser. All essential functions are clearly structured and accessible with just a few clicks – from selecting your observation target and automatic alignment to capturing and analyzing your images.
Thanks to intelligent automation, Webservatory® takes care of many tasks for you – such as optimizing camera settings or planning entire observation sequences. At the same time, experienced users retain full control over all parameters. The platform is accessible from anywhere and can be flexibly adapted to individual needs.
Webservatory® combines modern celestial observation with powerful computing and a platform for knowledge and education – for both newcomers and experienced astronomers alike.
Successful deployment in planetariums
Our innovative web platform is often utilized as a white-label product. Planetariums, for example, use it as a captivating addition to their offerings. This platform not only enables the control of a telescope system but also supports the streaming of image data. For planetarium visitors, this offers an impressive live view – a truly unique experience.
