Who we are

Our passion for astrophotography was ignited by the encouragement we received from our social media followers after sharing our content. This prompted us to elevate our standards and embark on a journey of discovery.

During this exploration, we recognized the absence of readily accessible tools and accessories that would empower amateur astrophotographers to enhance their images. Driven by this realization, we set out to address this gap and establish West Coast Astro.

As of 2024, our product portfolio encompasses accessories for SCT Telescopes and three models of Smart Telescopes, with additional models in development. 

As a privately owned, small company, we take pride in hand-designing all our products and thoroughly testing them.  And yes, we own and use all telescopes that we create accessories for, this enables us to experience our design work.
