AstroLink 4 micro

AstroLink 4 devices are multifunctional controllers for an astrophotography setup. They contain focusing motor controllers, 12V DC power switches, regulated dew heaters outputs, and regulated voltage outputs. AstroLink 4 controllers require a computer for work: can be a laptop, mini PC, or Raspberry Pi.

AstroLink 4 micro can be easily stacked with an external 7 port USB 3.0 hub.

Several sensor types can be connected to AstroLink 4 micro, so it can monitor temperature, humidity, sky temperature/cloud coverage, and sky brightness, and display these values or automate workflow based on them.

Also, input voltage, current, and energy consumed are monitored, and peripherals may be protected against overvoltage or excessive current drain, or you may be alerted when the field battery energy is low.

Other AstroLink 4 micro functionalities are focuser point temperature compensation and compensation calculator, charts with export option, and permanent focuser position (so it does need to be parked after the session).

Both INDI and ASCOM drivers are available: ASCOM Focuser, ASCOM Observing Conditions, ASCOM Switch.

If you are looking for a simple focusing solution, please check the FocuserOne device.

If you are looking for an astrophotography controller integrated with a computer, please check the AstroLink 4 Bee or AstroLink 4 Pi.
