DobsonDream 4 – Push-TO DSC upgrade kit for Celestron StarHopper Dobson
telescopes. It contains
everything necessary for the automation of Celestron StarHopper Dobson
telescopes. It only takes 10 minutes to install it. Simply tighten 8 pcs of
screws and install the encoders. Now the telescope is ready for a fast search
of space objects! It helps
observers to accurately and quickly find objects in the night sky. The telescope
tube is pointed to the object manually, until the crosshair in the planetarium
program coincides with the desired object. The controller
receives data about the position of the telescope tube from sensors (encoders)
located on the telescope mount axes. The resolution
of the encoders of each of the axis is 4000 pulses per revolution, which is
quite enough to accurately point the telescope to the object. Before using the
system, you must enter the resolution of the encoders (4000 ppr) in the
corresponding fields of the planetarium program. DobsonDream can
work with any planetarium program supporting work with basic encoders and DSC. For example, for
a PC with Windows, you can use the Cartes De Ciel planetarium, and for mobile
devices with the Android or iOS SkySafari planetarium. DobsonDream is
made in two versions. Their difference in different communication interfaces,
