Description

The first product announcement from SS-One is a stand-alone autoguider controller (Raspberry Pi 2B inside, no additional computer required). This program will also provide polar alignment assist functions with an optional polar axis camera.

Two versions will be available. One will be available with its program open-sourced*. A deluxe version (SS-One AG Complete) with proprietary code and hardware will be available through Hutech. Fully assembled units of both models will be available from Hutech. The SS-One AG Element is the open-source version (part #SSAGE).

SS-One AG Element (SSAGE)

This light-weight, compact unit has a small LCD (2.2" TFT 320x240) for display in an aluminum case, and connects to a USB imaging camera (ZWO ASI120MM and ASI120C or SS-One [to be announced later]). The mount's autoguiding input connects to the output provided by the camera.

Power connection to both the camera and autoguider controller unit is via a micro-USB connection on the autoguider controller case. A "high" power charger (2A @ 5V) should be used to insure stable operation of both the control unit and the camera.

The system also supports connection to USB GPS units for accurate time and location, and to other devices (cell phones, tablets, chrome books, or PC's) for the convenience of remote operation.
