About us

Scarlet Astronomy Systems Ltd. (SAS) is a professional astronomer owned telescope manufacturer based in Winnipeg, Canada. SAS provides the highest quality of optical telescopes and accessories available today, aimed at the discerning enthusiast, research institutions, and commercial facilities. Starting in 2025, SAS began with the purchase of the optical designs from AG Optical Systems LLC. Wishing to continue production of the best optical telescopes ever made, including the Convergent series and Imaging Dall-Kirkham series telescopes, SAS began a production, faithful to the original design produced for nearly a decade.

Scarlet Astronomy Systems Ltd. was started and is owned entirely by enthusiast astronomer Ryan J. Wierckx. Ryan achieved his Honours Bachelors of Science in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Manitoba in 2024. Specializing in remote optical systems, autonomous observatories and data collection techniques, he was firmly placed to produce and improve upon the already established AG Optical telescope designs. Currently working to achieve his Masters of Science in Astrophysics, the design and implementation of optical telescope systems is his one and only mission. Using what he learned deploying numerous remote observatories for both private operators and public institutions, Ryan aims to produce and provide the best optical telescopes in the world to the astronomy community.
