Standalone smartcameras for astrophotography
Can be used without a PC because they have a powerful internal PC with Windows 10 or Linux: use your favorite applications to control your setup without carrying around a laptop and greatly reducing dangling cables. Connect your equipment to the 6 USB ports and 3 12V controlled power suppliers (on AST492). Interact with the camera through remote desktop via WiFi with Smartphone / Tablet / PC.
