What is the MAV?
The MAV (Multi-person Astronomical Viewer) is a custom-built stargazing platform designed for shared, unhurried observation of the night sky.
Unlike a traditional telescope setup—where one person looks at a time—the MAV allows two guests to observe together, comfortably and continuously. Each MAV unit is fully supported, gently guided, and operated by trained staff, allowing guests to remain present with the sky rather than focused on equipment.
The platform moves slowly and deliberately, following celestial objects across the sky with minimal distraction. Seating is reclined, stable, and intentionally designed for long viewing sessions—whether you’re watching planets rise, tracing star clusters, or simply spending time under the Milky Way.
The MAV is not about speed, crowds, or checklists. It’s about shared experience, comfort, and attention—a way of observing the universe that feels closer to how people have always looked up: together, over time, without hurry.
Modern Astronomy as Shared Experience
Stargazing has always been a shared human experience. Long before modern travel or technology, people gathered under the night sky to wonder, orient themselves, and connect—with the cosmos and with each other.
Ultimate Stargazing brings that tradition to modern astronomy. The MAV transforms viewing from a solitary activity into an intimate, shared encounter—designed not for experts, but for all human beings who want to feel something extraordinary beneath the stars.
An Observatory Designed Around the Human Body
The MAV was designed with a single focus: to make each observer comfortable enough to be fully present in the view. When the body is relaxed and the experience feels effortless, distractions fade away. What remains is deeper focus, greater clarity, and the ability to truly see more of the night sky.
Smooth, continuous motion designed to keep attention on the sky.
Natural Viewing at 42x Magnification
The MAV’s optics are tuned for brightness, clarity and comfort. A wide, flat field delivers a view that feels natural and undistorted, while a lower magnification brings detail forward without narrowing the experience. The result is an image that fills the eye and quietly disappears into the act of seeing.
(The number is purely coincidental, of course.)
“It feels like being in a spaceship.”
Reclined side by side, attention naturally shifts away from the world below. The body is supported, the field of view is filled, and the motion is smooth and continuous. With nothing demanding effort, the experience becomes immersive and focused, oriented entirely toward the sky.
What makes the experience unique is not isolation, but shared presence. You and the person beside you are aligned to the same view, moving together through the night sky, creating the quiet sense of traveling outward—together.
