Product description

Explore Scientific PMC-8 GoTo controls: These controls consist of a robust controller box which creates its own Wi-Fi signal and makes the required interfaces available. All motors are connected to this unit and, of course, an ST-4 compatible autoguider interface is available. The controls also support microstep operation to ensure precise tracking, as PMC stands forPrecision Motion Controller.

A PC or tablet can be used to operate the controls via Wi-Fi (Windows 8.1, Windows 10, iOS, Android, mobile devices with 7.1” or higher screen sizes). The specially designed app, ExploreStars, offers a very user-friendly platform. Currently available stars for initialising tracking and numerous celestial objects from the database are displayed along with additional written information. All of these objects can be comfortably viewed and selected.

At the heart of the controller is a fully self-contained 2-channel processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP functions which enables operation via web browser, ASCOM, APP or through a serial connection. Open GoTo provides an opportunity to write your own firmware and load this into the controller. This makes it possible to make individual adaptations to the device functions and create your own object lists, etc.

Please note: You should install the ExploreStars app on your Windows device before starting the system. Further information can be found at www.explorestars.com.
