Smart Controllers & Power Hubs

A power hub or smart controller sits on the telescope and handles power distribution, USB connections, dew heaters and sometimes the whole imaging computer. One cable runs down to your laptop or power supply instead of a dozen, which makes setup faster, cable snags rare and long imaging nights more reliable.

We carry Pegasus Astro Ultimate Powerbox and Pocket Powerbox models, PrimaLuceLab EAGLE computers, WandererBox, RB Focus SmartBox and PowerBox units, the iOptron iMate, Sky-Watcher SynLink, ZWO ASIAIR accessories and mounting brackets for each.

Power Box or Full Computer?

  • Power hubs: Distribute 12 V, provide powered USB ports and drive dew heaters. You still need a laptop or mini PC to run the imaging software. Examples: Pegasus Pocket Powerbox, WandererBox Lite and Plus.
  • Hubs paired with a mini PC: A small-form-factor PC mounted next to the hub on the telescope, such as a Pegasus Ultimate Powerbox with its PC base plate, gives you a full computer at the scope.
  • All-in-one computers: PrimaLuceLab EAGLE and RB Focus SmartBox run Windows or Linux on the telescope and include power distribution. You control everything remotely from a tablet or laptop indoors.
  • Dedicated controllers: ZWO ASIAIR, iOptron iMate and Sky-Watcher SynLink run their own software, simpler to learn but limited to supported devices.

What to Check

  • Number of 12 V outputs and their current: Make sure there is enough for camera, mount, focuser and dew heaters.
  • USB 3.0 ports: Needed for fast camera downloads.
  • Dew heater channels: Automatic dew control based on temperature and humidity saves power and lens fogging.
  • Software support: Check ASCOM, INDI and your capture software.

Smart Controllers and Power Hubs: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a power box?

If you run more than a mount and a camera, a power box makes setup cleaner and reduces cable problems. Many imagers consider it one of their best upgrades.

ASIAIR or a Windows mini PC?

ASIAIR is simpler and works very well with ZWO equipment. A Windows or Linux computer offers more software choices and supports nearly every brand.
