On the evening of August 12, 2026, an extraordinary celestial event is on the horizon: A total solar eclipse will pass over parts of Europe—though not over Germany.
Here in Germany, we will experience an impressive partial eclipse, which will nonetheless offer a rare and spectacular sight. Germany will be entirely within the Moon’s penumbra. As a result, the sun will not be completely, but clearly and visibly “nibbled away.”
What do you need to safely observe the solar eclipse? You can find a list 👉 here!

Mechanical Accessories
Little things and components for Self-Made-Man, accessories and adapters, updates and upgrades. Everything you need and could need can be found here.
- Works with bipolar or unpolar stepper motors
- Full, half, 1/4 and 1/8 step (microstepping)
- Large range of supported stepper motors
- Connector for environmental sensor
- Protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature
- Made especially for Ultimate Powerbox v2 and Pocket Powerbox Advance
This hand controller allows precise manual focus, vibration free!
- Focusing with a rotary knob, thus intuitive
- Two speeds, slow precision mode is active if the knob is pressed inside
Speed indicators - Standard network cable with RJ45 plugs for connection
- Can work simultaneously with the PC operation
This geared stepper motor has 0.0625° steps, 60 Ncm torque and little backlash, so you can focus your telescope fast and accurately with it - even with heavy imaging equipment.
- Useful resolution of 0.0625° (3.75 arc min) per step
- High torque for handling higher loads
- Low backlash making backlash compensation easier
- RJ45 socket allows using standard network cable for connecting to PegasusAstro´s Dual Motor Focus Controller
- Universal L Shaped Bracket allows mechanical connection to many focusers
- Supplied couplers allow mechanical connection to many focusing shafts
Focus fast, reliably and accurately your telescope using a stepper or DC motor and this controller.
- versatile, you can use your own motor instead of having to use one of PegasusAstro - and using another motor requires (perhaps) another cable, not another controller
- PC operation is standard, but manual operation does not even need a separate hand controller
- Temperature probe included
- Backlash compensation possible via firmware
- ASCOM and INDI compliant, but comes with a standalone program for Windows
- Firmware upgrade possible
Proudly standing between Pocket and Ultimate Powerbox, it has been designed to provide more advanced features than Pocket Powerbox in a more compact / quality design.
- 4 x 12 V DC power outlets for your equipment (a single channel to switch all four outputs ON/OFF via software)
- 12 amps of total distributed current
- Adjustable output (3, 5, 8, 9, 12 V) / 3 A (can be switched ON/OFF) - power your DSLR / mirrorless camera
- Embedded powered USB3 hub ? 4 x USB3 ports or 3 x USB2 ports available
- 1 x power USB port (up to 3 amps) ? suitable for powering Raspberry PI 3/4
- Port (RJ12) for external accessories (like external focus controller)
