You’ve found the perfect spot on the perfect night, and your eyepiece is waiting to unveil
celestial treasures. Instead of diving right into observing or imaging, you can quickly whittle
away precious time manually hunting for a specific object or even determining what sights
might be viewable from your location.
With the PMC-Eight™ OpenGOTO system in your arsenal of astronomical tools flawlessly
navigating the skies has never been easier. Designed to meet the versatile needs of
astronomers of all levels, this advanced GOTO system is a clean slate approach to precision
motion control technology that maximizes the potential of your optical equipment.
The robust electronics that power the PMC-Eight™ include eight CPUs that are independently
dedicated to performing set functions. This devotion to task translates into a reliable system
that responds rapidly and operates smoothly. The complexities of the electronics, which
are conformal coated for protection against contaminants and harsh environments, are
easily managed with our own intuitive ExploreStars app or through the ASCOM-powered
planetarium software of your choosing.
Although the electronics of the PMC-Eight™ make it a clear standout for robotic telescope
control, it is the open source coding that makes our system truly revolutionary. We feel that by
making our software open source, we can discover exhilarating uses and encourage innovative
thinking. We invite developers of all levels to become an active part of the OpenGOTO
community by downloading our coding and exploring the PMC-Eight™’s
unlimited possibilities.
