Totally agree, I now have two and they never leave the OTA they “run’. Having started with a RigRunner (with USB power built in) the difference if night and day.
Each power, USB and dew/fan controller port can be individually switched on and off, full power consumption and atmospheric monitoring (humidity, temp and I believe pressure), built in motor controller for focuser (works great with a Moonlite) and the USB hub itself is bulletproof USB2 and USB3
The only criticisms I can make is that;
There’s only one temp sensor, I’d like to see 3 (ambient, primary and secondary) so I can replicate the capabilities of the PlaneWave Delta-T
- they don’t make a rack mount or DIN rail for controlling the rest of the observatory!
Expensive, but by the time you add up everything they do, you’ve made your money back.
