The SimpleDreamEQ5
mount control system is designed to automate equatorial mountings of
SkyWatcher EQ 5, Celestron CG-5, MEADE LXD, LX, Vixen FR, GP (- DX), GPD2,
ORION SkyView and Bresser EQ 4/EQ 5, and can be used both in stand-alone mode
and in control mode from a PC or mobile device.
SimpleDreamEQ5, thanks to the Micro GoTo
function, has the ability to automatically, quickly and accurately find objects
of space within a given sector of the celestial sphere and accompany them at
different speeds.
With the Guide function, you can create
astro photographs with large exposures.
Thanks to the built-in WiFi access
point, it allows wireless control of the mount from the programs of
planetariums running Windows, Android or iOS.
This is a new version with more powerful motors.
The kit consists of a control unit and a
set of drives consisting of drives for the RA and DEC axes.
Speeds modes of
SimpleDreamEQ5:
Tracking speeds -
sidereal, moon and solar.
Slewing speeds - x10,
x30 and x60 sidereal speed.
Guiding correction speeds -
x0.5, x.75 and 1.0 sidereal speeds.
The speed of slewing in Micro
GoTo mode is x60 sidereal speed.
For
the Windows OS, in Micro GoTo mode, the SimpleDreamEQ5 can work with
any astronomical programs that support the ASCOM platform. For example, with
the planetariums Stellarium, Cartes de Ciel, StarCalc, etc. At the same time,
the ASCOM platform and the Meade Generic LX200 telescope driver should be
installed on the PC.
When working in the Guiding mode, the
SimpleDreamEQ5 can work with programs for astrophotography. For example, with
such as MaximDL, Guidemaster, PHDGuiding, etc.
At the same time, the ASCOM platform and
GuideDream driver should be installed on the PC, and the ST-4 port on the
SimpleDreamEQ5 must be connected to the GuideDream (optional) with a special
cable, and the unit itself is guiding with a PC USB cable.
For
the Android and iOS OS, in Micro GoTo mode, the SimpleDreamEQ5
works with SkySafary, OrionStarSeek, and others programs, while the telescope
Meade Classic LX200 is selected as the telescope in the programs.
The variety of platforms, drivers and
applications with which the SimpleDreamEQ5 can work, makes it possible to
create for the user particularly comfortable conditions for controlling the
mounting depending on the tasks assigned.
For example, an astro photographer
generally uses a laptop or PC to search, targeting and guiding the object
during exposure.
Such features are mostly programs
running on Windows. But for a lover of visual astronomy, for searching and
pointing at objects, it is much more convenient to control the mount using a
compact smartphone or tablet, rather than using a computer or laptop.
