Observatorio Astronomico Avalon Merlino Pequeño

all this is possible with maximum reliability and safety!
The main advantages of the observatory design are its compactness and intuitive use. Merlino is equipped with a PC, a router and a dedicated electronic board that manages a whole series of sensors for a complete control of your system, both in terms of functionality and security. The system is controlled from a software interface developed entirely by Avalon Instruments that allows the Merlino to be used in a very similar way compared to a typical mobile configuration.
For example, many commonly known software applications are integrated into the system to increase ease of use .

ease of use is our number one goal for your Merlino!
Thanks to its compact size, Merlino can be used on your terrace, in your backyard garden or in almost any available space. The internal 3G router connects your Merlino to a local area network (Intranet) or via the web (Internet). Of course, the Internet connection allows you to use your Merlino from a remote location.

Of course, the Internet connection allows you to use the Merlino from a remote location.

The Merlino project solves most of the problems related to the management of a remote Observatory thanks to its special features.

The optional motorized polar alignment kit allows to adjust the Polr alignment remotely through the StarGo/Merlino software.

Merlino also allows to program photo sessions using macros created directly by the user, using the macro editor included as standard.
