Atik Base Computer

Increasingly, astronomers are seeking to improve the portability and convenience of their imaging. The Atik Base Computer is a small computer that can be mounted to your telescope to conveniently control cameras and other hardware from your portable devices. The software is a collaboration with Ikarus Technologies to create a custom version of their highly regarded StellaMate system which gives the following abilities:

• Manage everything from one interface.
• Powerful image acquisition capability.
• Autofocusing.
• Support for internal and 3rd party guiding software.
• Plate solving and high accuracy GoTo telescope control.
• Imaging target suggestions.
• Workflow automation.

In addition to the above features the ATIKbase goes further and provides some benefits that enhance the user experience:

• Offline EKOS Live mode - To allow the StellaMate web interface running on mobile devices to control the imaging system without requiring access to the internet or VNC.
• Runs directly from 12V - further to that, the device can distribute 12V power to other hardware including cameras and mount.
• Includes a focus motor driver compatible with Robo focus, Moonlite or Lakeside motors to offer further integration.
• An ST4 port is on board to enable guiding if the mount can not be connected to the USB ports.
• Compatible with Atik Air.
