EQPowerPRO – GOTO controller, 8 amps, for big equatorial mount

EQPowerPRO is an equatorial mount controller designed to automate the control of a heavy equatorial mount, for example, weighing 60-80 kg or more. EQPowerPRO supports control of stepper motors of the NEMA 23, NEMA 34 type, with a maximum current of up to 8 amperes. EQPowerPRO can be used both in standalone mode and in control mode using a computer or mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.)

For control from a PC, EQPowerPRO can work with any astronomical programs that support the ASCOM platform (Windows OS) and INDI (Linux OS). For example, with the planetarium Stellarium, Cartes de Ciel, StarCalc, KStars and others. Of the programs for astrophotography and guiding, EQPowerPRO supports NINA, MaximDL, APT, SGP, PHDGuiding and others.

For control from mobile devices, EQPowerPRO works with the SynScan APP, SkySafari PLUS (PRO) and Stellarium Mobile applications.

EQPowerPRO communicates with a PC via a cable from the standard kit, and with a mobile device via WiFi.

The variety of platforms, drivers and applications that EQPowerPRO can work with makes it possible to create the most comfortable conditions for the user to control the mount, depending on the tasks at hand.

EQPowerPRO is equipped with a universal push-button joystick for manual control. It allows you to control the mount autonomously without a computer, smartphone or tablet.
