Stars & Fujifilm Searching for stars
Fujifilm's large binocular telescopes have discovered 15
comets, including Comet Hyakutake.
With advanced lens grinding and lens coating technology,
even distant and remote comets are vividly captured.
This optical technology is also utilized in observatory
telescopes and artificial satellites. It is mankind's dream to
learn more about the universe - Fujifilm strives to make
this dream come true.

1.A world-class binocular telescope that has discovered 15 comets
Since 1987, large binocular telescopes mounted with
Fujifilm's Fujinon lenses have discovered 15 comets.
A number of them may sound familiar to you, such as Comet
Hyakutake, discovered in Japan by Yuji Hyakutake.
Astronomy fans around the world who favor our binocular
telescopes search for comets every night.

2.Optical and lens technology chosen by comet-hunters around the world
The rendition performance, which captures sharp and
bright images even at night for a full range of view, is why
astronomers around the world choose these binocular
telescopes.
The high-performance lens, polished on the surface to a
precision of 1/1000 mm, finds comets far, far beyond.
Our lens coating technology (EBC coating) reduces light
reflection.
By fusing the advanced techniques of our expert craftsmen
with the latest technology, we have created binocular
telescopes that have excellent light-gathering ability at
night and dramatically reduce the bleeding of colors.

3.Telescopes at observatories and artificial satellites covering Earth – you’ll find Fujifilm here too Artificial satellite
Observatory telescope
For example, our optical technology for highly sensitive
cameras is used in huge observatory telescopes*.
Our optical technology is mounted on artificial satellite cameras that observe Earth.
We at Fujifilm support mankind's efforts to gaze into the
universe in many ways.
