Abstract
The IMAGO (IMAGer with mOdified eyepiece) project is finalized to the realization of a prototype for the application of Augmented Reality to what can be normally seen when putting the eye at an historical telescope. The main motivation for such a system is to offer an innovative experience to the public, who can be quite unimpressed after a first glimpse through a telescope, especially under bad seeing conditions, thus increasing their interest in astronomy and possibly revitalizing those telescopes, no longer suitable for scientific purposes but still impressive and evocative. The idea behind IMAGO, the IMAGO prototype design and possible future developments are here described.
