Sky Fusion

[Moodtastic]

On my daily browse of FLO I saw the Sky Fusion computer.

I was trying to figure this thing out. It is expensive and also expects an annual sub of £100 for updates. I guess it is for those with an observatory type set up?

I mean I know there are those of us with large bank accounts (certainly not me), but this does seem expensive for what it is. The PL Eagle seems a similar piece of kit and is cheaper; a laptop and pegasus astro box would be as good; or an ASIair does much the same for a fraction of the cost (if you like ZWO cameras and accessories).

I will be interested to see reviews of it in the field.

Its including a copy of the sky which is not cheap and the Anderson pole power supplies as well. 40 amp input as well so quite a lot of power. 

How much that all costs I don't know, but its never cheap for a dedicated appliance like this.
