Aperio is observation planning, catalogue verification and telescope control in one app — for professional astronomers, graduate students and advanced astrophotographers. iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux.
In August 2026, Aperio's business idea was accepted into the first stage of TÜBİTAK's 1812 BiGG acceleration call, which backs early-stage technology ventures in Türkiye. The second-stage evaluation is ahead; this page will follow the process.
