Le brocanteur des étoiles - brevet d'invention

Currently, the market for astronomical instrumentation for amateurs, no telescope or spotting scope is in the state,

directly conducive to observing the sky for physical disability.

With Handiscope, this will finally change by offering people with disabilities the same opportunities and the same quality of observation that "valid".

This instrument serves as an example the one hand, because of its uniqueness and its mission to create the link between astronomers and without disabilities,

and secondly, on the scientific aspect of this activity, which tends to value the person with disabilities.

This action is indeed transferable to other sectors, such as the frail elderly, inpatient rooms, heavily fitted or bedridden.

It can also be for children with debilitating orphan diseases: Child of the Moon, Mucoviscidose.

* To observe the sky directly and not via the virtual tool,

     * To keep the visual axis of the instrument at the same height as the eye of the observer, regardless of the object pointed to,

     * To provide a primary optical foolproof,

     * To make the disabled person self for mounting the instrument and its use,

     * To promote the mobility of the individual through a portable equipment,

     * And be available for purchase individually or collectively.

Since 2008, date of creation of the first prototype of Handiscope, the instrument has been tested regularly with people with disabilities,

as part of entertainment and business meetings.

This notion of "feedback" in developing such an instrument is crucial.

First, because the designer is a valid person and secondly, because the Handiscope not intended to be an instrument to freeze technologically.

Indeed, according to the people and disabilities encountered, it will be equipped with on-demand options.

This involvement of future users, has to adapt or even to readjust all the specificities of this instrument:

usability, manageability, accessibility, comfort and quality of observation, user satisfaction, not to mention aesthetics.

After a long process of design and testing that lasted nearly five years, the proposed provision of Handiscope happen.

The association "Stars for All" and can now offer this tool for astronomical animations adapted.

But also, let for hire or sale to associations wishing to conduct similar activities in this area of science.

The Handiscope enjoys a technological evolutionary potential (options), enabling him to look elsewhere for more users.

For example, a reference optical system to make the beauties of the night sky, to bedridden children during hospitalization ...

Newton 150 mm in diameter.

750 mm focal length (F / D 5).

Lightweight primary mirror (back taper) with isostatic mounting.

Moonlite focuser, or equivalent instruments Axis (multiplied and / or engine in options).

· Remarks at a constant height, regardless of the observed object !

26mm eyepiece, 4 lenses, 52 ° field.

Researcher 8X50 angled unlit, with its base shifted.

Optionally, you can: to put a camera in the foyer of this instrument or on an extension pole declination

and enforcing a bedridden person (diagonal to predict).

· No discomfort with the approach of the instrument !

Altazimuth mount Ioptron Minitower Type II.

Standalone controller GPS / GOTO, 130,000 objects in memory.

Snowshoeing GotoNova backlit. Pointing accuracy of + / -1 arc minute.

· Just a single star to initialize !

AC adapter and cigarette lighter, USB cable.

Adjustable column with an amplitude of 20 cm.

Folding legs.

Carried in two bags and a waterproof hard case (included).

· Total weight: 29 kg with weight-cons !

This quality instrument and has been ergonomically designed to fit one !
