The Sidereal
Technology Dual
Servo Telescope
Controller is
economical, very
small, and
packed with may
features. This
telescope
control system
is installed on
our large
telescopes with
Windows
computers. It
connects to 2
servo motors
with integral
encoders, and 2
telescope
encoders. It
will track and/or
guide your
telescope. You
can use the
SiTech
controller with
various software
packages, even
without computer
as a stand alone
solution. |

Use the provided
FREE ASCOM
driver from
Sidereal
Technology. This
requires a
Windows OC. The
advantage of
using the ASCOM
driver, is
almost
any planetarium
program that
supports ASCOM
will accurately
control your
Alt/Az or
Equatorial
telescope. No
special Virtual
Serial Port
drivers or NULL
modem cables to
otherwise unused
serial ports.
This ASCOM
driver is very
powerful, and
supports almost
every ASCOM
Version 2.1
function. |

The SiTech
directly
controls two
servo motors
with the motor
position control
loops running at
nearly 2000
times a second,
with high speed
shaft encoders
for position
feedback on each
motor. |
|
|
In addition to the two encoders mounted on the motors, the SiTech unit can connect to two additional
high speed encoders for the telescopes altitude and azimuth (or right ascension and declination). No need to add an additional "box" to connect shaft encoders. Open Collector RS232 Serial port for connecting
2 or more controllers on the same RS232 bus. Other controller axis's can be used as field de-rotators and/or focusers (Available using PC control only). |

Connects to a wired handpad or optional radio handpad for slewing/panning/guiding. Signals from the
wired or radio handpad work immediately, no delay as with some other systems, because the same micro-controller that is controlling the servo motors, "listens" to the handpad signals. No communication protocol delay. The Radio handpad protocol, is a lean and mean protocol, taking only the time to transfer 16 bits at a quick bit rate. There is absolutely no percieved delay between when you press a button on
the handpad (radio or wired) and when the servo motors move. Can automatically track your telescope
in the Equatorial mode, the DragNTrack mode, or the SlewNTrack mode without having a personal computer connected |
