Hello #astronomers! This week we’re in US for an entire week of #telescope and #astrophotography events! Today we’re at the NEAIC - Northeast Astro-Imaging Conference in Suffern NY, showing our latest innovations! We start with this dual rig setup, with Takahashi FSQ-85 and Epsilon 160ED #telescopes completely modded with ESATTO focusers, ARCO rotators and controlled by EAGLE computer. Running smoothly (and quickly) on the brand new SATURN HD-20 mount that made the first appearance just here at the event!

And we also have the Celestron EdgeHD 8” telescope with ESATTO 2” LP focuser, ARCO 2” rotator, GIOTTO flat field generator, ALTO cover motor and EAGLE6 computer!

Hello #astronomers! New version 1.9.8 of PLAY 1.9.8 #astrophotography software is here! Download now from our website www.primalucelab.com!

First, we added full support for our brand new SESTO SENSO 3 LS motorized focuser for telephoto lenses. We also added official support for Celestron fork-type mounts. AutoStacking is now faster thanks to better memory management, and we improved Autostacking for more reliable results. We also refined the Deep-Sky enhance, so your preview images look more natural. We made the RGB color correction sliders more precise, the AutoFocus step size is now a parameter you can customize for your specific setup, and you can now personalize the name of each OTA in your #telescopes configuration.

We also fixed bugs that you helped us find. Thank you to everyone, your feedback makes PLAY better for the whole community!

Hello #astronomers! Later this week, 6 & 7 February, we’ll be in London for @astronomynowmagazine European AstroFest 2026, one of the largest #telescope exhibitions in Europe.

It’s always great to be part of an event where the entire #astronomy community comes together: manufacturers, dealers, astronomers, #astrophotographers and #space enthusiasts…
the Universe under one roof.

We’ll be there as guests of ‪@365astronomycom‬ , our official UK distributor, to meet friends, customers and partners, talk about #telescopes, automation, remote control, Observatory Stations and, of course, share ideas and passion for exploring the #universe from the ground.

If you’re attending European AstroFest, come and say hello, we’ll be happy to meet you in person and talk #astronomy.
See you in London!

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.
