All these DIY power strips and devices will do the job, are superb and cheap to make....but they lack PC control, so if you need that then you cant beat the Pegasus range.... but you will pay a premium for it...😀

Well, you can connect to a PC and set it all up, and from then on you can use without a PC....but all of the Pegasus units are meant to be used via PC really.. 👍

This is what I now use...the Pegasus UPB V2 superb.. https://pegasusastro.com/products/ultimate-powerbox-v2/

I guess I am just lucky that it works fine with all my kit... 👍

Nothing at all wrong with a PI4 it runs the latest Raspbian based Stellarmate 1.5.1 OS perfectly...runs all night with no glitches.... 👍

So if it’s 25 degrees indoors and you can set to -20 that’s 45 below ambient, what camera will go that low...that’s a huge drop.... 😮, mine will do 30 below ambient, so if it’s 20 degrees inside mine will go to -10... So I guess it’s all to do with what the camera will go to below ambient..? Which should be in the camera specs.. correct..?

Hello, I am new here and have a question... I have always done my darks on the same night as images, but I read so many people build a library of them at different lengths... So when you set the temp on an imaging camera at say -10 that means 10 degrees below ambient, so if 10 degrees outside, the it would be zero.... But if taking them inside to build a library, then setting the camera at -10 with an inside temp of say 20 degrees will only give a camera temp of 10 degrees which would not match.... So assuming all that makes sense how are these dark libraries achieved ..? And how do people get matching temps with images and darks with all the above being said....? Thanks Stuart
