Pegasus Pocket Powerbox Micro (PPB-MICRO)
ASTRONOMY PLUS
Pickup available,
Usually ready in 2 hours
3008 Rue Brodeur O Unité 307 Saint Alphonse De Granby QC J0E 2A0 Canada
Pocket Powerbox Micro (in short PPB Micro) is suitable for the “grab and go” astrophotographer. Device can provide up to 10Amps of power, a sufficient number of 12V Outputs, Two Dew Heater Channels, an adjustable voltage power output and an environmental sensor to monitor humidity / temperature (dew point).
4 x 12V DC Power outlets for your equipment
A powerful mosfet transistor provides “electric juice” to your precious equipment. It supply of electricity 4 outputs. Can switch ON/OFF all four ports (* together).
Built in Voltmeter
A precise voltmeter measures and displays in real time your input voltage. If the input is more than 14.5V, the power is instantly cut off to protect your equipment.
Built in Amp-meter
An Amp-meter placed after the DC input reports the total electric current. Moreover there are three additional amp-meters: One for the 12V outputs and two for the Dew Heater Channels. This allows you to easily monitor detailed and overall power consumption of your equipment.
Adjustable Regulated Output
An adjustable output is suitable to provide power to your DSLR / Mirrorless camera / or your RPI3/4. You can tune the voltage to different levels (3,5,8,9,12 Volts). Please note that we provide a wide range of battery couplers for Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJI Cameras
More than 10A of total power
Controller has been designed to support up to 10 Amps of total current.
Standalone Operation
Pocket Powerbox Micro can work “out of the box” as a standalone device. Just plug the cables, setup the “autodew” functionality and every time you boot the device, it will retrieve your settings. So, If you don’t like to connect a PC every time, you don’t have to. Simple as that!
Two channel duty cycle PWM outputs
Two Pulse width modulation (PWM) outlets are capable to provide power to your “thirsty” Dew Heaters. No more moisture fuzzing your equipment and destroying your clear nights. These outlets can be remote controlled from your laptop using the supplied software.
Auto Adjustment of PWM (Dew Outputs)
Controller can auto adjust the heater power levels by consulting the environmental sensor Dew Point reading. Just click “Auto” and leave to Pocket Powerbox Micro to decide if it is time to turn on and precise tune the level of your dew heaters.
Expansion Port (EXT)8105581055
EXT (expansion) port is available for device expansion. This RJ12 socket allows the connectivity of current and future Pegasus Astro products. Plugged devices can be controlled from Pocket Powerbox standalone software or dedicated ASCOM driver.
ASCOM 6 Fully supported
Pocket powerbox fully supports ASCOM6. In combination with our main program which acts as a server you can use our latest ASCOM 6.3 supplied drivers to:
Pass environmental settings to supported software (e.g Sequence Generator Pro / MaximDL ) (ASCOM ObservingConditions)
Switch ON or OFF all 12V outputs. (ASCOM Switches)
INDI Fully supported
Pocket powerbox fully supports INDI, Bundle it with Stellarmate or any other device that can use INDILib.
Led Indications for power and failure states
Led can blink in patterns to warn you regarding important power issues (e.g over or under voltage). Moreover light can be turned off using the software. Our led is very dim but in case you don’t like it on you can switch it off via the software.
Power Cables are included in the package
Four power cable of DC 2.1mm to 2.1mm male (1m) are included in the package.
External Environmental Sensor
External one (1) meter temperature & relative humidity sensor is included in the package. Know exactly the environment conditions of your location. Temperature, humidity and dew point measurements are displayed in the software.
USB2 Connectivity
Connect the device to your laptop/PC and control Pocket Powerbox from the supplied software or ASCOM drivers
Reverse Polarity Protection
Pocket Powerbox has been design with a reverse voltage polarity protection. It will definitely save your night if you accidentally connect the main power supply in reverse polarity.
Watchdog
A hardware watchdog resets the device if for any reason there is no response from the controller for two seconds. A neat feature in the unlikely event of a controller freeze – when you have a remote observatory and you need to be certain that everything works as expected.
Upgradable Firmware
Device is firmware upgradable to support future features and bug fixes.
Compact Size and Lightweight
A high quality blue anodized aluminium, compact sized box encloses the controller board. Size is 66mm x 66mm x 24mm). Weight is 80 grams.

Clever tube end covers for my non-standard home-built 10" Newtonian
Clever tube end covers for my non-standard home-built 10" Newtonian. Kind of like shower caps, but they are of heavy-duty material. I haven't yet tested them to see if they will keep out enough light to shoot dark flats, but I think they will be.

Excellent Service
Products as described, arrived 3 days before due date.
This is a great deep sky scope, and I am looking forward to getting some great pictures with it, all I need now are some clear skies (it's raining at the moment)

1) Permet de sceller le tube optique. Une touche de graisse de silicone pure, de qualité, celle pour les équipements de plongée assure l’étanchéité.
2) Empêche les contaminants de s’infiltrer
3) Empêche l’effet cheminée lorsqu’on change un oculaire ou un accessoire par temps froids.
4) Combiné à une isolation thermique de l'OTA un isolant thermique à double face genre REFLECTIX, permet de sortir l’instrument d’un local chauffé vers la température frigide extérieure pour observer immédiatement sans attendre l’équilibrage des températures.
J’ai testé de 25C à 5C, sur deux nuits à l’oculaire clavé 10mm dès l’installation 5 minutes après la sortie de l’instrument, l’image est absolument nette avec seulement la turbulence d’un seeing de 3-4, et ce durant toute la durée de la séance.
Images de Saturne au MK127 de SVBONY F:1500mm, Caméra ZWO ASI 678MC au foyer primaire, Filtre 1.25" Baader contrast boost, capture .SER, Sharpcap, PIPP, AS4!, registax 6.
Les photos sont un stack des images brutes stabilisé de PIPP, et l'autre un léger traitement dans Registax 6.
Le 27 octobre vers 21h30 5 à 10 minutes après avoir sorti l’instrument, viewing 3/5. Hier avec barlow QT 2,25x Baader, résultat similaire. C'est ce que j'espérait, les tests se poursuivre.
