At Proxisky, we’re thrilled to share that we recently participated in Japan’s Tainai Star Party, an exciting event that brought together astronomy enthusiasts from all over the world.

We proudly exhibited three of our flagship models: the UMi 17R, UMi 17S, and Ragdoll 20. These mounts are known for their incredible precision and advanced strain wave gear technology. For a quick breakdown, the “17” in UMi 17R and UMi 17S indicates the use of type-17 strain wave gears, while the “20” in Ragdoll 20 signifies type-20 strain wave gears for enhanced payload capacity.

One of the highlights of our display was the Ragdoll 20, which we demonstrated by mounting a Celestron C925 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a Lunt 60 solar scope at the same time. This setup showcased Ragdoll 20’s impressive 20kg payload capacity without the need for counterweights, an absolute game changer for serious astronomers.

In addition, we featured the UMi 17R and UMi 17S with the C925 and ONTC newtonian, highlighting their exceptional electromagnetic brake performance. The precision and stability offered by these mounts truly impressed everyone who stopped by our booth.

During the event, we had the opportunity to see many mounts and telescopes from other local manufacturers like Takahashi as well. We were fascinated by the unique and vibrant astrophotography culture present in Japan. It was inspiring to witness how local enthusiasts blend traditional techniques with modern technology to capture the cosmos in stunning ways.

Overall, the Tainai Star Party was a fantastic event for us, allowing us to connect with fellow astronomy enthusiasts and share the incredible capabilities of our equipment. We look forward to more opportunities to showcase our innovations and continue pushing the boundaries of astronomical obsevation.

Thank you to everyone who visited us and made this event a memorable experience!

Clear skies,

Proxisky
