Twinstar is a dynamic small manufacturing company specializing in affordable, professional-grade astronomy solutions. Based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Twinstar was founded in 2021 by Matej Mihelčič, whose lifelong passion for astronomy has shaped the company’s mission and values. By prioritizing direct customer relationships and bypassing traditional dealer networks, Twinstar ensures a personalized experience that caters to the unique needs of its clientele.
Although the company itself is relatively young, Matej Mihelčič brings decades of experience to Twinstar. His journey in astronomy began in primary school and has since included collaborations with leading global companies, including his role as a beta tester, designer, and marketing promoter for ZWO. Matej has also made significant contributions to the local astronomy community, organizing events such as the Messier Marathon, hosting observation gatherings, and serving as an editor and collaborator with Spika, Slovenia’s leading astronomy magazine. His dedication extends to supporting schools, universities, and individuals in exploring various facets of astronomy, from astrophotography and image processing to observatory construction and remote observing.
One of Matej’s notable achievements is his involvement in the GOChile project, which grants students access to cutting-edge astronomical research through remote observation of the Atacama Desert’s night skies. This visionary initiative underscores Twinstar’s commitment to fostering educational opportunities and advancing the field of astronomy.
Initially focused on distributing astronomy equipment, Twinstar has evolved into a hub for innovative solutions tailored to the needs of amateur astronomers, academic institutions, and research initiatives. The company’s team of five experts combines extensive knowledge of astronomy and technical disciplines to develop professional-grade products that balance quality with affordability.
With its customer-first philosophy and dedication to innovation, Twinstar continues to inspire and support the global astronomy community.
