The Galaxy Optics optical thin film coating system was specifically designed for coating telescope mirrors. The optical coatings have uniform center to edge thickness. The "ARC" process guarantees near 100% oxidation of overcoat refractory materials and extinction coefficients less than 0.01. The ARC coating process produces reflective coatings that are brilliant in their appearance and free of coloration. The coatings are exceptionally durable and well suited for use in the environments associated with observing. Galaxy Optics has fabricated and coated thousands of mirrors. When you choose us for your optical coating needs you can be sure you are getting the absolute best.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Hello World

From pole to pole our fair planet is captured in this snapshot from space, an evocative image from a window of the Orion spacecraft Integrity. From the spacecraft's perspective the Sun is moving behind Earth's bright limb along the lower right. Africa and the Iberian peninsula are in view on the pale blue planet's surface, while aurorae crown Earth's south and north poles at top right and bottom left. Commander Reid Wiseman took the historic picture on Artemis II mission flight day 2 (April 2), after the completion of the planned translunar injection burn. That burn boosted the spacecraft out of Earth orbit, sending Integrity and crew on a trajectory that will take them around the Moon and back again. That's a journey humans last made over 50 years ago.
