AstroMC is a product family of hardware and software and service components that makes life easy for the serious observer. The AstroMC Hub is available in Serial or USB capable packages as well as a Serial board level product, that are all attractively priced. Among the many capabilities are:
· Remote Power Control-- Turn on/off Low Voltage equipment power, Line Voltage equipment power via CPS Power Strips and RoboFocus Line Voltage power accessory. (RoboFocus is a product of Technical Innovations) By linking ACP Weather connections within AstroMC, power control is now scriptable!
· Remote Roll-off-Roof Control-- Control your roll-off roof including a fully compliant ASCOM Dome driver. Four different roof mechanization styles are supported. Full integration with ACP and ACP Scheduler. Scripting can can initiate a cover open/close. (ACP and ACP Scheduler are products of DC3 Dreams, SP)
· Automatic Fogging Control-- Measures humidity, observatory inside temperature and dew point, using this data to automatically control activation of dew management and dew removal equipment. No more fogging. Boltwood II is not required.
· Prime Power Safety Monitor-- Senses prime power failure and initiates safe shutdown. Via an ACP Shutdown script, the user may customize the shutdown steps to suit site specific requirements and needs.
· Scope AtPark Monitor-- Having confirmation of your scope at the park position is essential to remote astronomy. This low cost unit will detect that your scope is safely parked and will inhibit roof movement until both the "software" and the detector agree.
· Remote Aperture Dust/Pollen Cover-- Cover and uncover telescope apertures (for dust protection and dark frames where there is no sensor shutter). Integration with ACP and ACP Scheduler via the ASCOM Scope Class. Keeps your scope free of dust and pollen... coming soon.
· Integration and monitoring of weather sensors-- Integrates our new WeatherSentry Weather Monitor plus Boltwood I, Boltwood II local or network sensors and the Extech RH401. Monitors weather trends and conditions. Alerts your telescope control software via ASCOM and Boltwood one-line interfaces. Supports ACP, CCD AutoPilot and CCD Commander.
· Low Cost Weather Sensor-- Low cost AstroAlert sky temperature and cloud sensor and precipitation sensor. Continuous monitoring of weather condidtions. Fully integrated with ACP and ACP Scheduler via ASCOM Weather interface... Now Available!
· ASCOM Compliant-- Full integration of AstroMC AstroAlert Weather Monitor, Boltwood I/II or Extech RH401 via the ASCOM Weather Class. Roll-off-Roof ASCOM driver included. Now available is ASCOM Telescope Driver integration of our AtPark Monitor. Even if your scope cannot report Park, you can assure that it is AtPark!
· Open Integration-- Support for a custom MasterControl Class that follows ASCOM standards and can be accessed by third party programs.
· SMS Text Messaging and Email Alerts-- Now AstroMC will send an alert to your cell phone or email when certain conditions occur (e.g. Scope not At Park or Roof Open). Under your control, up to twelve different conditions can be monitored with alerts and/or emails for each!
If you can't be there, AstroMC is your integration and observatory safety choice.
