Here’s a Chinese copy of Pegasus UPBV2, the WandererAstro PBUV2:

Unlike Pegasus, there is no stepper motor control, but the mount holes are a useful addition. Plus it’s half the weight of Pegasus and smaller footprint. Quality to be determined…

Not bad. Same price as the PPBA though, but many more ports.

Interesting. Good to see another company making a different version of thr power box.

Pegasus Power Box Advanced Gen2 can be picked up for $425 shipped from overseas. I have a few along with some of their other stuff and I highly recommend it. I would say it's the most important bit of kit on my rig.

3rd axis balance is a problem! I have to put my filter wheel 180deg from my fixed viewfinder for my Takahashi Mewlon 250CRS. It’s the only way to get my scope balanced properly.

Would be interesting to know what the quality is like. Time will tell. Has an ASCOM switch driver so integrates into NINA etc
