WandererAstro Wanderer Cover Review
Wanderer Cover V4EC - professional lightweight motorized flat panel
Added 12V DC input port, indicator light, and soft pads to protect the lens barrel.
(Note: 12V power supply is required)
The built-in encoder provides real-time and accurate feedback on the position of the cover, allowing users to know the angle of the cover without relying on a monitor camera. Repeatable positioning accuracy is higher than ±0.25 degrees.
Brand new motor adopted, the payload is increased by more than 50%, ensuring its durability and preventing gearbox damage. After testing, the life of WandererCover V4-EC exceeds 3,000 opening and closing cycles.
In humid areas, dew will occur on the flat panel at night. If the dew does not evaporate in time, it will easily make the inside of the telescope moist after closing the cover, which may cause the lens to become damp and moldy in the long term.
The V4-EC has built-in heating elements to keep the cover dry all night or quickly evaporate dew in the morning. The dew heater can be controlled in NINA advanced sequence using the plugin "Device Actions and Commands".
Thanks to the encoder, V4-EC provides automatic detection of the open and closed position*. If your device is not around and manual setting is not possible, WandererCover can automatically detect obstacles and set the open and closed position.
*It is always recommended to set the open and closed angles manually! Use automatic detection as the last option only when the flat panel angle cannot be observed. It is normal for the motorbox to heat up during automatic detection. The angle detected is affected by many factors and success is not guaranteed. Do not try multiple times if unsuccessful.
The new ASCOM driver makes use easier. The All-in-one driver will automatically identify the device model and connect. It also supports automatic or manual port selection and connection of up to 6 devices simultaneously. The control interface has also been optimized and is now more beautiful.
The new dimming controller increases the PWM dimming frequency by 100% to further avoid bandings. 255 levels of dimming meet the needs of flat-field shooting in most situations.
