Sky
Scientific began operations in Skyforest, California, in 1979 manufacturing a line of
Polaroid®-back cameras for astrophotography as well as aftermarket accessories for
Meade® and Celestron® Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. A retail store offered
instruments and accessories for astronomy as well as conventional photography.
Optical design software was initially created for internal product development purposes
but evolved into a viable commercial product beginning in 1994. Currently, Sky Scientific offers mail order and internet sales of optical design software and a mixed compendium of new, used and surplus optics, books and supplies for amateur astronomers, telescope makers and educators. Sky Scientific is a privately held company and is NOT affiliated in any manner with the publicly traded company of the same name, trading with the stock symbol "SKYS".
