Sightron Japan at Mitaka Star and Universe Day 2025

On October 25, 2025, Sightron Japan will participate in the Mitaka Star and Universe Day held at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Mitaka City. This event presents a unique opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts, providing a glimpse into the normally restricted facilities of the observatory. Attendees will enjoy not just the showcases of optical instruments like telescopes and binoculars but also engaging lectures and exhibitions related to the latest astronomical research.

What's Happening at the Event?

The day is packed with a variety of activities, designed not only for astronomy fans but for anyone interested in the universe around us. In addition to the optical showcases by Sightron Japan, event-goers can look forward to educational presentations centering on “The Beginning of Exoplanet Observation and Astro-Biology.” These talks aim to break down the complex themes of modern astronomy into enjoyable learning experiences for all ages.

Sightron Japan plans to set up an exhibit featuring their high-quality optical products, including the Hα solar telescope for daytime solar observations. As the sun sets, the company will conduct a stargazing event from 15:00 to 19:00, using their Infini D50 refracting telescope, manufactured in Japan. It’s a perfect opportunity to observe celestial events with top-notch equipment.
