Lunático arises from the interest in Astronomy of its founder, Jaime Alemany, who from a young age enjoys and suffers from his passion for the sky — both as a visual observer and as an astrophotographer.
The unique experience of watching the Milky Way on a clear, cloudless night, or capturing a galaxy or nebula through a camera sensor, is often accompanied by the transport of telescopes, mounts, cameras, batteries, eyepieces, cables and more cables — spending cold nights making arduous attempts to assemble everything correctly.
From this experience, with which you will surely identify, Lunático Astronomía was born in 2006 with a fundamental objective: to make astronomy easier and safer for the amateur — whether they observe visually or image through the night — with excellent customer service.
As the company kept steadily growing, Jaime's wife, Débora Sánchez, turned from casual to full-time collaboration in 2010.
In early 2022, Miguel Ángel García, an outstanding software developer, joined the team helping with customer support and collaborating in new product design, software development and documentation.
Later in 2022, Águeda Alemany added many more general responsibilities to her previous role, contributing to documentation and software development. Javier Gordo followed soon after, becoming a key figure responsible for all logistics from Spain and co-managing social media.

Lunaticoastro Pacific Ltd. established in New Zealand. Zijuan Dong joins to support Asian markets.
In May 2025, we officially established Lunaticoastro Pacific Ltd., our New Zealand-based company, to better serve customers in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. This new entity allows us to operate directly from the Southern Hemisphere, handle local sales and logistics more efficiently, and support our growing international network with greater flexibility.
With both Lunático Astronomía S.L. in Spain and Lunaticoastro Pacific Ltd. in New Zealand working together, Lunaticoastro now covers the entire international market, ensuring faster, more localised service while continuing to expand and innovate from both hemispheres.
To support our growing presence in Asia, in 2025 we welcomed Zijuan Dong to the team — a native Chinese speaker who plays a key role in helping our Chinese distributors and customers understand our products and receive support in their own language.
Other key people include José B. Castro, who designs all the electronic circuits; Darío A. Sánchez, who supports us with online ads and promotional banners; and Bernardo Alemany, responsible for the product and company logos and general graphic design.
Lunaticoastro works full steam on making the most versatile products for remote observatories — designed for long useful life and fully repairable. And as we've been repeatedly told, we offer the very best customer support!
