GEAR CONTROLLER

Software Bisque announces TheSky Fusion (US$1,695), a compact, mountable control computer for your imaging system. TheSky Fusion simplifies setups by powering and controlling a broad range of astro-cameras, filter wheels, focusers and other devices using a Linux software configured for imaging. As a complete embedded system, TheSky Fusion draws much less power than a normal computer, and its fast performance shouldn’t degrade over time. The unit includes a 64-bit Hex-Core 1.8 GHz CPU with 256 GB of mass storage space and 4 GB of RAM. A status display panel reports current operations and includes built-in GPS, eight Anderson Powerpole ports, four USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI 2.0 monitor output. It can be controlled using any web browser through its built-in Wi-Fi or its Ethernet port.
