Goodbye 2025… and welcome 2026!

As we reach the last day of the year, we’d like to wish all of you a fantastic 2026, filled with clear skies, exciting projects and new discoveries.

We'll be closed until January 6th, so we’ll take advantage of this short break to… make a personal sacrifice 😄 Someone has to spend time under the sky doing #astrophotography, right?

We’ll be having some fun with this #telescope setup:
‪@TAKAHASHI_TELESCOPE‬ FSQ-85EDX apochromatic refractor
‪@AtikCameras‬ Apx26 cooled camera
‪@SkyWatcherUSA‬ Wave 150i mount
Fully remotely controlled and powered by EAGLE computer, and equipped with ESATTO focuser, ARCO rotator, GIOTTO flat-field generator and ALTO cover motor!

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do every day:
to make exploring the #universe easier, more reliable and more enjoyable, whether it’s for science, education, or simply for the joy of looking up.

See you in 2026… with many exciting things ahead.
Clear skies!

We officially inaugurated the PL Space Center!

Yesterday we opened the doors of our new research and development center for #astronomy and #space — right here in #Pordenone, Italy.


It was an incredible day: filled with people, ideas, and passion for exploration.
We had the honor of welcoming government representatives, regional authorities, researchers, and industry leaders who shared our vision for bringing astronomy and space closer to everyone.


After the opening speeches, we cut the ribbon, and demonstrated our radio and optical systems in action — capturing artificial radio signals from satellites and natural signals from deep space.


The PL Space Center is not just a place.
It’s a symbol of what we believe in: bridging astronomy, education, and space technology to inspire the next generation of explorers.


Thank you to everyone who made this dream a reality — and to all who will help us write the next chapter of exploration, from Earth to Space.

Inside PrimaLuceLab: where innovation meets the Universe!
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our workshop, where every day we turn ideas into cutting-edge technologies for #astronomy and #space exploration.
From our radio #telescopes and optical systems to the intelligent devices that control them, everything is designed, assembled, and tested right here — in Italy.
In this photo, you can spot our 5-meter diameter SPIDER 500A MarkII #radiotelescope under assembly, two PL Observatory Station telescope systems being prepared, and our team working hard across production, logistics, and R&D.

Hello #astronomers!
The beauty of the night sky comes to life through #astrophotography — and capturing it in such detail is pure magic.

We recorded this image of galaxy M101 with a Takahashi FSQ-85 #telescope equipped with our ESATTO 3” robotic focuser, ARCO 3” rotator, GIOTTO 120 flat field generator, and ALTO-1 telescope cover motor — all remotely controlled and powered by our EAGLE computer and captured using our PLAY astrophotography software.

Moments like this are why we do what we do — to empower astronomers everywhere with tools that reveal the hidden beauty of the night sky.
