Ground-based optical telescopes are sophisticated devices employed for astronomical observations and are typically mounted on stable supports like astronomical observatories or research stations.
These ground telescopes capture light emitted by celestial objects and channel it through a systems of lenses or mirrors. This enables astronomers to analyze the physical attributes, chemical compositions, and dynamic behaviors of celestial entities.
Beyond their primary use in astronomy, ground-based optical telescopes find application across diverse scientific disciplines, including particle physics, astrophysics, geology, and atmospheric research.
SIDeA specializes in designing and developing cutting-edge instruments and sensors for ground-based telescopes. Our expertise extends to crafting computer systems that facilitate the seamless acquisition and processing of data garnered from observations. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate and efficient extraction of insights from the celestial phenomena under scrutiny.

High resolution CCD for ground telescopes
A Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) is a photosensitive electronic device used to convert light into electrical signals. High-resolution CCDs find application in various fields that demand images of exceptional quality and precision, such as astronomy, advanced microscopy, and other scientific disciplines that require the recording of minute details.
Engineers at SIDeA have acquired substantial expertise in developing systems for ground-based telescopes. Specifically, integration solutions have been devised for high-resolution scientific CCDs with pixel counts reaching up to 4000×4000, all functioning at cryogenic temperatures.
SIDeA can design and supply electronic components tailored to the specific roles of high-resolution CCDs for companies and research organizations.
Telescope Positioning Systems
To enable accurate and reliable positioning of the ground telescope and its optical components, even while in motion, integrated telescope drive systems are required.
SIDeA designs and develops these telescope positioning systems based on specific customer requests, whether from companies or research institutions. We handle the design and supply of all necessary components and subsystems, including:
With the help of these systems, automating and streamlining telescope movement operations becomes possible, allowing operators to focus on observation and scientific data collection.
