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.

"All in all the decision to go with the Astrel AST8300A was a very good one, especially coming from DSLR imaging. I can highly recommend Astrel Instruments and their products." 

 Achim Armbruster, Germany

"...The overall performance of the Astrel is astounding, especially as it is not based on the newest sensor generation, but this is more than made up for by the smart solutions that Astrel is using to reduce noise. The image quality I am receiving is absolutely great..."

"...I need to say that the support is outstanding. They are always available to help with questions, support you via Teamviewer if the issue is a little more complex and are easy to deal with whenever something needs to get fixed. I have never been happier with a product support team..."

The trick is to using the Astrel Flatbox controller! ...."
