Introducing Starman

Space, on your desk.

A celestial pointer that physically tracks the Moon, planets, stars, and satellites — in real time, right from your desk.

SkyView

A living map of the night sky.

Planets, stars, constellations, and satellites — all live, all above you. Pan the sky, tap a target, and Starman smoothly follows it across the room.

Hardware

Precision. Silence.
Personality.

A two-axis tracker with continuous 360° rotation via slip ring, and magnetic encoders that let Starman spring back to its target even if you twist him.

Continuous rotation

A precision slip ring lets Starman spin in either direction, forever. No cable tangles, no end stops.

Magnetic encoders

Twist him mid-track — he snaps right back to target. Because hardware should feel alive, not fragile.

Whisper-quiet

Engineered to sit on your desk, not your garage floor. Smooth, silent, deliberate motion.

Track anything

From our star to
the edge of the visible.

Planets, stars, deep-sky objects, the ISS, Starlink, the Sun, the Moon. If it's above you, Starman can point at it — even when it's below the horizon, waiting for the rise.

Fun modes.
Because he's alive.

Make Starman dance. Bob his visor. Follow your phone around the room. He's a tracker when you need him — and a companion when you don't.
