Astrodevice is a creative project that aims to make astrophotography accessories available to the widest possible range of enthusiasts.
It provides projects for astrophotography equipment that, following the included instructions, you can assemble yourself and use in your private observatory or home photography set-up.
The Astrodevice service was launched in 2021. Initially, my solutions were tested by a small group of people, checking how useful they really are and how well they work in practice, under various conditions. For the next year, until the end of 2022, Astrodevice devices were offered commercially. Finally, the commercial part of the venture was closed in 2023, and over the next several months the project underwent a major transformation. On the basis of commercial solutions, I created easy-to-make devices and made them available to the public, for private use. I believe that in this way I can best serve the community of passionate astrophotographers by making my work available and at the same time being able to focus entirely on the creative aspect.
My name is Pawel Zgrzebnicki, I am a physicist and astrophotographer living in Poland. In addition to my passion for observing the sky, I love designing and constructing new technical solutions. I founded Astrodevice to be able to share my ideas with other astrophotographers and give them access to new equipment to help them get involved in this wonderful hobby.
With the instructions provided, you can assemble all the equipment and accessories yourself. Usually all you need for this is a little patience, a 3D printer, a soldering iron, small screws and other such small items.
You may use the designs provided by me exclusively at your own risk of processing, production and use. I do not warrant the performance of these products nor am I responsible for any damage they may cause, in particular damage to your equipment, cameras, telescopes, mounts, filters and any other losses. 3D printing technique, self-assembly of components, choice of materials, quality of work, operating conditions and a myriad of other variables affect the final result. Therefore, if you decide to use any information or files downloaded from the Astrodevice website, remember that you do so solely at your own risk and you alone are responsible for the final result.
If you want to learn more about the conditions under which I grant free access to my works, read the license information.
If you want to cooperate with me, use my designs in a research institution, produce my accessories or you have an idea for an unusual solution - please contact me.
