Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen2

[Mark_K]

Anyone using the Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen2? Looking at it to replace my USB3 hub & stop running multiple power cables down the mount & looks like it will do the job, leaving only a single power & USB cable to deal with. Will probably add a mini pc to my setup later so getting the top plate might be handy too.

Anyone with any thoughts on this unit?

Thanks.

Yep I've got it. Nice little unit. What camera do you have? Just make sure to use the right USB port with some of the ZWO cameras.

I have 2 of them. Best thing you can add to your setup.

Thanks guys - will be using it with a 294MM Pro & maybe occasionally a DSLR.

I have Gen1 and love it.
Only 1 cable running up to the mount and all others running from the PPBA to the camera's, minipc, focuser.

I have 2 of them and they work extremely well. Perfect for distributing power around to your devices and running dew shields/strips etc.

I have the mini and it's the best thing I ever stuck to the mount.

The software is useful too, running my Celestron dew heater, keeping track of condtiions and battery drain, etc.

Great device, and surprisingly small. I have it mounted on top of my refractor and it powers everything ... cameras, mount, focuser, dew heaters, RPi4. I also use some of the USB ports. The only two cables running to my setup are power (10A supply) and ethernet. Alex

Ordered one today but out of stock until some time in January it seems, my fault for delaying.
