SKU: WA-WDT

Wanderer Astro


 

The Wanderer Astro Dew Terminator is an advanced ASCOM-compatible 3-channel dew heater controller with 3 x PWM adjustable 12V outputs and 3 x always-on 12V outputs. Thanks to its multitude of power outputs and a combined total output of 8A, the Dew Terminator can also be used as a DC power hub or switch.

 

 

Wanderer's intelligent closed-loop control solution based on ambient dew point temperature and dew heater temperature provides the most scientific and effective dew heater control, which keeps your lens dry while avoiding overheating and energy waste.

 

 

Thanks to the included environmental sensor and three individual temperature probes, the Dew Terminator is capable of realtime monitoring and automatic independent adjustment of up to 3 dew heater straps. This can be controlled using the ASCOM driver or comprehensive Wanderer Empire software.

Compact at only 7.4 x 5.3 x 2.3cm and lightweight at less than 100g, the Dew Terminator is an essential accessory for not only large, permanent setups but also portable travel rigs.

The Dew Terminator can be attached to dovetail saddles which have slots that allow two M4 screws with a centre-to-centre distance of 20mm, such as the ZWO Vixen Saddle for ASIAIR Plus.
