EQStarPRO LOSMANDY is an
equatorial mount drive upgrade kit designed to automate the control of the
equatorial mount. It can be used in stand-alone mode and in a control mode
using a computer or mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.)
This kit can be installed on the mounts: LOSMANDY GM8, G11 and their
analogues.
EQStarPro LOSMANDY – NEW equatorial
mount control system designed to automate the control of the equatorial mount,
and can be used in stand-alone mode and in a control mode using a computer or
mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.)
This kit is based on the latest, high-performance EQStarPRO
controller. Compared to other controllers, the NEW EQStarPRO is
faster, more powerful, quieter and smoother!
On a PC, EQStarPro LOSMANDY kit works with any astronomical
programs that support the ASCOM
platform. For example, with planetarium Stellarium, Cartes de Ciel,
StarCalc and others. Among the programs for astrophotography and guiding,
controller EQStarPro LOSMANDY supports MaximDL, Guidemaster,
PHDGuiding and others. When you work with a PC, EQStarPro LOSMANDY
can automatically find sky objects and track them automatically (guiding)
during the astro photography with long exposure. Also, when working with a PC,
you must install EQMOD
ASCOM-application.
EQStarPro LOSMANDY also supports working with the INDI astronomical platform and ZWO ASIAIR Pro.
Controlling the
telescope with mobile devices allows you to automatically find sky objects. In
the planetarium program at the mobile device either Celestron or SynScan should
be chosen as a control of the telescope, as well as a mount – a German
equatorial mount. EQStarPro LOSMANDY supports the following mobile
applications – SkySafari, Stellarium mobile plus, DSOPlaner and others.
EQStarPro
LOSMANDY communicates with a PC via USB or WiFi, and with a mobile device via
WiFi.
The variety of
platforms, drivers, and applications that EQStarPro LOSMANDY can run on makes
it possible to create particularly user-friendly control conditions depending
on the tasks.
For example, an
astrophotographer typically uses a laptop or PC to search for, aim and direct
an object during a long exposure. These features are mainly programs running
under Windows. But for a lover of visual astronomy, it is much more convenient
to control the mount using a compact mobile device, smartphone or tablet,
rather than using a PC or laptop.
EQStarPro
LOSMANDY comes with a universal joystick for manual control, which allows you
to autonomously control mounting without a computer, smartphone or tablet.
