The best view of the night sky is found in places away from artificial lighting. Unfortunately, we don't have a power outlet there, but that doesn't mean you have to do without the convenience of a GoTo mount. With the Omegon MASTER Pro You can use your telescope mount all night long.
Contains a battery LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate). LiFePO4 batteries have clear advantages over older lead-acid models and even regular lithium-ion ones!
The MASTER Pro is smaller and lighter than old-fashioned lead acid batteries. You also don't have to worry about accidentally damaging the battery by charging it irregularly or discharging it completely. Plus, since it's LiFePO4, it doesn't contain any toxic heavy metals!
Compared to other lithium-ion batteries, LiFePO4 are more robust and reliable:
- Much more stable voltage during discharge, around 12 V
- Drastically reduced risk of ignition and explosion
- Long lifespan: remaining unused for years has no negative effects on the battery
- Stable performance, even after hundreds of charging cycles.
The Omegon MASTER Pro is available in two sizes:
Omegon Pro Powerbank 48 k , with capacity of 154 Wh (13 Ah @12 V): If you want to power a medium or large telescope mount with few electronic accessories for an entire night, this is the right choice.
Omegon Pro Powerbank 96 k , with capacity 307 Wh (26 Ah @12 V): If, in addition to a mount, you also use many accessories, such as anti-dew heaters, an astronomical camera with thermoelectric cooling, a mini-PC, etc., then this larger model is recommended. (In this case a power distributor is also recommended, such as the Pocket Powerbox Advance GEN2).
The LEDs indicate the charging status at all times. The battery can be easily recharged using the supplied mains adapter.
Built-in protection against short circuits, deep discharge and overcharging not only protects the battery itself, but also the mount it is connected to.
All mounts or devices can be connected with cigarette lighter cable.
