COMSOFT


Short profile:

COMSOFT was founded in 1990 as a software consulting company providing telescope control and satellite tracking services to the amateur and professional astronomical community. Based in Tucson Arizona, COMSOFT is in close contact with professional and amateur astronomers alike in what is considered the "Astronomical Capital of the World."

Currently COMSOFT has two mature commercial software products, a control system called PC-TCS™ for equatorial mounted telescopes and SATPRO™ - an earth orbiting satellite tracking program which can be used in conjunction with PC-TCS™ to accurately track earth orbiting targets.

Detailed description:

Several telescope manufacturers currently use PC-TCS™ as their preferred control system for their products. PC-TCS™, our primary software product, is robust and comprehensive in scope and has continued to evolve in the last 5 years to meet every need of both professional and advanced amateur astronomical observing programs.

We even use PC-TCS ourselves - PC-TCS is running a Celestron C-14 telescope on a custom 20M equatorial mount furnished by Optomechanics Research, Inc. at our offices in Tucson Arizona. Come by and see the best control system available for large or small equatorial telescopes.

Since 1990 COMSOFT has installed over 40 telescope control systems world wide. Clients range from State Universities and Government Institutions to advanced amateurs desiring state of the art "Observatory Class" telescope control at a moderate price.

COMSOFT's PC-TCS/CT control system was recently installed on Biosphere II Observatory's 24" RC Reflector. Optical Guidance Systems chose COMSOFT to control and automate the newly installed Biosphere Observatory's 24" Telescope. The telescope will be used by Columbia University's "Universe Semester" students to learn about the operation of an observatory class telescope and explore the wonders of our extraterrestrial universe.
