In addition, you will be able to visualize in real time the atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, humidity and dew point - don't miss any important detail! You will also be able to monitor the power consumption and the voltage supplied by the power source, either a battery or a 220VAC to 12VDC transformer.
Ready for astrophotography, the SmartBox Gaius-S2™ comes with Windows 11 Pro operating system and pre-installed software, such as N.I.N.A, ASCOM, EQMOD, ASCOM drivers for RB Focus, PHD2, ASTAP, Plate Solve 2 and Stellarium. All ASCOM outputs and drivers are preconfigured, so you simply need to plug in your equipment and go out and capture images of the night sky. On both the OLED display and the aforementioned software, you will be able to see real-time data from the device, showing the status of the environment and power supply.
We have improved connectivity by incorporating a state-of-the-art WiFi 6 card and a dual-band antenna. This ensures optimal connection speed even when you are away from the device. We want to give you the best possible experience in all situations.
The SmartBox Gaius-S2™ is compatible with observatory control programs and allows you to remotely turn the equipment on and off, as well as configure heating bands or fans automatically. You can control it from any software that supports the ASCOM Switch Box, such as N.I.N.A or Voyager. In addition, you can program the automatic shutdown of the equipment at the end of the session, so you no longer have to worry about leaving the camera or mount on all night.
The automatic band controller is an outstanding feature of the SmartBox Gaius-S2™. Thanks to the included temperature and humidity sensors, the device has the necessary data to calculate the dew point. This will allow you to program the control software to turn on the heating bands only when they are really needed, avoiding unnecessary electricity consumption and unwanted currents in the OTA.
