The SUTO Group deals with a wide range of issues related to the technical aspects of astronomical imaging. The main activity is the automation of observatories and the acquisition of high-quality imaging data for international research projects (TESS mission, BRITE mission, ExoClock, HOYS, AAVSO and many more).

Astronomical observatories established as part of SUTO include three units. These are the observatory in Pyskowice (night observations), in the village of Kotulin (daytime solar observations) and the remote observatory in Otivar (Spain, in collaboration with ScopeDome). The work of the observatories is fully automated, and the distribution of astronomical targets is carried out with the use of advanced planning tools. The observatories work each clear night or each sunny day for solar observatory.

We are familiar with a wide range of astronomical measurements - photometric and astrometric. In addition to the capabilities of the observing sites, we specialize in image processing, data reduction and opto/electro/mechanical solutions for the astronomical purposes. We encourage you to cooperate with us!
