The observatory
Astronomical observatories designed to protect your equipment
Creinfi observatories are facilities designed to house telescopes, mounts, computers, and other equipment used in astronomical observation.
Their main advantage is that they allow the equipment to remain installed and protected, eliminating the need to transport, set up, align, and take it down after each session.
Built for outdoor use
The observatories are constructed using a combination of strong and lightweight materials.
Depending on the model and the selected configuration, they may include:
Galvanized steel bases and structural components.
Powder-coated aluminum profiles and beams.
Lacquered steel panels with a polyurethane insulation core.
Aluminum panels with a polyurethane core.
Connectors and fasteners designed for modular assembly.
Reinforcement and trim profiles in lacquered aluminum.
Our models

Frequently Asked Questions
Is construction work necessary?
The observatories are designed for easy installation and can be set up in many locations without the need for additional construction or flooring.
The exact requirements will depend on the terrain, the area, and the model selected.
Can it be installed on a terrace?
Yes, provided the terrace has the necessary space, structural integrity, and appropriate conditions. Each location must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Can the opening process be automated?
Yes. The different models can be equipped with motorized opening and closing systems.
Can the telescope be operated remotely?
Yes. A motorized observatory can be part of a remote observation facility.
Can I set up the observatory myself?
Yes. It can be supplied unassembled, along with instructions and assistance for assembly.
Can Creinfi handle the installation?
Yes. We can travel to the site and set up the observatory.
Can it be used with a tripod?
Yes. We offer open-base configurations designed for equipment mounted on a tripod.
Can it be used with a fixed column?
Yes. The closed-base configuration allows for installations with a freestanding post or column.
