Lumen

What it is

Lumen is a beginner-focused astronomy assistant designed for real observation sessions. It guides you from setup to observation — reducing the friction between owning a telescope and actually using it well.

• • Step-by-step telescope setup guidance
• • Select an object and get intelligent eyepiece recommendations
• • Recommendations based on your telescope profile
• • Focused Observation Mode for time at the eyepiece
• • No accounts, no cloud, no distractions

Why it exists

Most people who buy a telescope use it once, get frustrated, and put it away. Lumen exists to close that gap. It is not a sky map or an encyclopedia — it's a quiet companion that helps you set up correctly, choose the right eyepiece, and actually see something meaningful on your first try and every time after.

Availability

Lumen is currently in development. It will be available on the App Store for iPhone.
