COMPACT Observatory Station with 2m dome

COMPACT Observatory Station with 2m dome - main features:

- 235mm diameter telescope with cooled camera with possibility to install a second telescope in parallel to provide a different FoV
- Alt-Az mount with automatic slewing and tracking of astronomical objects
- Pier for concrete base
- ESATTO robotic focuser for precise focusing
- ARCO rotator to provide automatic field de-rotation
- GIOTTO smart flat field generator to record calibration frames
- ALTO telescope cover motor to use GIOTTO as a remotely controlled motorized cap
- EAGLE computer to remotely control and power all the devices
- 2 meter diameter motorized dome to protect the telescope
- PLAY software to control the entire Observatory Station and capture pictures

COMPACT Observatory Station with 2m dome - the most advanced remote control platform:

PLL Observatory Stations are remotely controlled with the included EAGLE computer that runs Windows, so you are free to install the Windows software you prefer to control all the devices of the telescope, based on your application. You can remotely control the Observatory Station through a WiFi or Ethernet connection, even through the Internet. And you can easily add also security cameras, weather stations and UPS backup batteries.
More, all PLL Observatory Stations are also already provided with PLAY software specifically designed by PrimaLuceLab to simplify the use of all devices and capture pictures. By using PLAY you can align and point telescope to many targets of the included database, precisely focus camera and rotate it in order to frame your desired object, open or close the telescope motorised cap and dome, set camera acquisition settings and capture sequence of images, capture image calibration files for later post-processing and much more!

COMPACT Observatory Station - 2 meter diameter dome:

COMPACT Observatory Station comes with ScopeDome 2M, the perfect dome for compact telescopes that offers a 2 meter diameter and 59cm wide shutter. This dome is very simple to install since it's delivered to you already assembled and, thanks to the H120 tower, the internal height reaches 260cm so it's comfortable even for tall people or for longer instruments. Great mechanical construction, the ScopeDome 2M with H120 tower offers many accessories to motorize dome rotation or shutter and remotely control it.
