Zenit Astronomy

Zenit Align Mini is a polar alignment device for equatorial telescope mounts. It combines an integrated camera with astrometry-based plate solving to align the mount to within 1 arcminute of the celestial pole, and it can run autonomously on a Raspberry Pi Zero without an external computer.

The product targets astrophotographers who use equatorial mounts for long-exposure imaging and is offered for preorder on the website. The website states that the device was developed together with OpenAstroTech and OG Star Tech, two projects with roots in the DIY and open-source astronomy community, and it lists a 10 kg payload capacity.

The company is registered in the Czech Republic as Zenit Astronomy s.r.o., with a registry founding date of 1 June 2026 and Praha as its headquarters city; the registry lists it as a subsidiary of a foreign group. The website is published in English and does not list team size, hiring, or additional offices.
