Wanderer Eclipse 350 mm Motorized Lid - Automatic closing, remote control and dust protection

Wanderer Eclipse 350 mm Motorized Dust Cover - Automatic locking, remote control and dust protection

The Wanderer Eclipse is a motorized dust cover designed to protect your telescope's optical tube from dust, moisture and spiders, excluding LED flats panel - ideal for remote observatories or fully automated installations.

Outstanding features

• 350 mm diameter: this version covers large apertures, suitable for mid-to-high end telescopes.

• Light weight: approximately 334 g for the 350 mm model, minimizing the load on the tube or mount.

• Aerospace aluminum construction + carbon fiber cap: a combination that seeks to offer structural strength with light weight.

• 270° opening: allows the cover to move enough to fully expose the optics and also to be positioned to reduce wind resistance when closed.

• Mechanical stop and obstacle stop: prevents the cover from exceeding set limits and ensures that, in the event of a blockage, it returns to the user's preset position.

• Remote control and driver compatibility: fully compatible with ASCOM and INDI, and can be controlled from devices such as ZWO ASIAIR Plus or ToupTek StellaVita.

• Low temperature operating range: according to the manufacturer, it can operate in environments as cold as -25 °C.

• Standard inputs: USB 2.0 type B interface and 12 V / 2 A DC5521 power supply.

• Ease of mounting: M3 threaded holes are provided in the base to accommodate custom brackets or truss-type structures.

• Diameter range: in addition to the 350 mm model, the Wanderer Eclipse is available in diameters from 110 to 425 mm, covering a wide variety of optical tubes.

Benefits for remote observatory users or astrophotographers

1. Constant protection of the optics: by being automatically closed when you are not operating, you minimize accumulations of dust or particles that can affect images.

2. Full automation: integrated with common astrophotography software (NINA, Voyager, etc.) via ASCOM/INDI, you can include aperture/shutter in your sequence without manual intervention.

3. Lightweight and efficient: moderate weight does not penalize the system, even on balance-sensitive telescopes.

4. Fail-safe: if the aperture encounters an obstacle, the system detects and reverses, avoiding mechanical damage.

5. Installation versatility: M3 threads and compatibility with different structures allow the Eclipse to be easily adapted to different tubes and configurations.

6. Weather resilience: its design allows operation at low temperatures, ideal for elevated locations or frequent cold nights.
