Zenithrove

An astronomy planning workspace for observing targets, session notes and equipment preparation.

Zenithrove product concept in a branded setting

Project overview

Zenithrove explores how amateur astronomers organize an observing session before and after time at the telescope. A sky canvas connects target selection to a session itinerary, while a journal and equipment checklist retain the details that make the session useful later. Sky positions and imagery are illustrative, with no claim of live ephemeris accuracy.

The challenge

An observing session combines an intended target list, equipment preparation and personal observations. When these are kept in separate places, the original plan and the resulting notes become difficult to compare.

  • Keep target selection connected to a session plan.
  • Make equipment preparation visible alongside the itinerary.
  • Preserve observations with their target and session context.

Our solution

A full-bleed sky canvas provides the central experience, with floating target details and a bottom session timeline. Itinerary planning, observation journaling and equipment preparation each receive a dedicated layout.

  • Explore an illustrative sky chart and inspect a selected target's planning notes.
  • Arrange target cards across a session timeline with preparation tasks nearby.
  • Keep dated observations and sketches beside a celestial reference image.
  • Review a proposed equipment kit and connect it to a planned session.

Technology stack

    The results

    The four-screen concept connects discovery, preparation and reflection in one visual system. A future evaluation would ask an observer to plan a target, assemble a kit checklist and retrieve the corresponding journal entry.
