What Is SkyBridge?
SkyBridge is the hardware gateway that connects your telescope to the SkyMapper network, transforming a single instrument into a node in a global, community-powered observatory. Together, we strive to expand worldwide sky coverage, support real scientific campaigns, and unlock a new model of astronomy where telescope owners don’t just observe, they participate.
Why Pre-Order?
Pre-ordering SkyBridge is the fastest way to secure your place in the SkyMapper network early and get rewarded for joining before the next wave of growth. For a limited time, you’ll receive $50 off your SkyBridge pre-order plus 25 Starter Points, which can be used to access telescopes globally inside SkyViewer.
SkyBridges expected to ship APRIL 2026
