11. Features of Titan TCS 

 

Titan Telescope Control System (TCS) is compact but one of the most powerful equatorial mount 
control system. Titan TCS comes with a list of nearly 14000 objects that can be used by all 
astrophotographers in its memory. 

              

- List of Objects - 

IAU-approved Star Name 240 items 

New General Catalogue 7840 items 

Messier Catalogue 110 items 

IC (Index Catalogue) Objects 5386 items 

Caldwell catalogue 109 items 

Sharpless catalog 341 items 

RCW 182 items 

Gun 94 items 

Barnard 174 items 

 

1.

 

Titan TCS equipped with controlling CPU (120MHz / 32bit) and 32bit CPU for communication and 
user interface to secure the expandability 

 

2.

 

Titan TCS has a total of 5 megabytes of memory. It stores an embedded object list for GoTo,  

 

3.

 

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (soon to be released) compatible, User may choose which to use by firmware 
update. 

 

4.

 

Uses  microstep  (1/4  ~  1/128):  It  controls  the  current  and  voltage  according  to  the  speed  of  the 
motor, which results in maximum efficiency with less power consumption. 

 

5.

 

Voltage boost and current control up to 30V by internal self-boosting function: maximizes the power 
of stepper motor and enables powerful and smooth driving. 

 

6.

 

Titan  TCS  supports  LX200  compatible  protocol,  which  makes  it  compatible  with  many  kinds  of 
astronomical software. 

 

7.

 

Remote observation through built-in parking function 

 

8.

 

Compact Size of 88mm x 108mm x 35mm with high density PCB design. 

 

9.

 

Titan  TCS  is  specialized  for  the  harmonic  gear  mounts;  all  of  the  CRUX  mounts  can  take 
photographs without guide up to 400 ~ 500mm focal length by using Titan TCS PEC function. 

 

10.

 

Small  graphic  high-resolution  OLED  display:  High  resolution  OLED  to  monitor  the  current 
consumption of motor and various information on the current state of the mount. (1.69 "Diagonal 
Size, 160X128 Pixels, Full Color) 

11.

 

Input power (12V / 3A): DC Adapter should be 12V/3A or have higher current.
