  • Starlight Instruments Wireless Control Of Electronic Focuser

    Upgrade your Starlight Instruments Focuser Boss II with the Wireless Control module, adding 802.11 WiFi for complete, cable-free command of your focusing system from any web-enabled smartphone or tablet.

    802.11 WiFi Upgrade: Control Your Focuser from Any Browser

    This 802.11 WiFi module integrates directly with the Focuser Boss II, eliminating the need for a physical data cable to your control computer. Because the Starlight Instruments Wireless Control Of Electronic Focuser hosts its own web interface, no dedicated app is required. Simply connect your device to the network and open a browser to access all focusing controls.

    Dual-Mode Networking: Direct Connection or Observatory Integration

    The module supports two connection modes for maximum flexibility. For portable setups, it can create its own local WiFi network, allowing you to connect your phone or tablet directly to the Focuser Boss II in the field. For permanent observatories, it can join your existing wireless network, making the focuser a seamless part of your integrated imaging system.

  • Do I need an app to use the Starlight Instruments Wireless Focuser Control?

    No. The WiFi module hosts its own web page for control. You connect your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the Focuser Boss II's WiFi network and navigate to its IP address in any standard web browser, such as Safari or Chrome, to access the controls.

    Can I use the Starlight Instruments Wireless Control at a dark sky site without internet?

    Yes. The module can create its own self-contained WiFi network (ad-hoc mode). This allows you to connect your control device directly to the Focuser Boss II without needing a router or any other network infrastructure, making it ideal for use in the field.

    How does the Wireless Control module work in a permanent observatory?

    For a permanent setup, you can configure the module to join your existing observatory WiFi network (infrastructure mode). This is the recommended method for fixed installations, as it allows you to control the focuser from any computer or device connected to that same network.

    Is this Starlight Instruments WiFi module compatible with the original Focuser Boss?

    No, this wireless upgrade is designed specifically for the Starlight Instruments Focuser Boss II Electronic Focuser. It is not compatible with earlier models or other control systems.

    What wireless standard does the Starlight Instruments WiFi module use?

    The module uses the 802.11 wireless standard, ensuring broad compatibility with modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

    How is the Starlight Instruments Wireless Control module installed?

    This module is a user-installable internal board for the Focuser Boss II hub. Installation requires opening the hub and connecting the module to the main board. Please refer to the official Starlight Instruments installation guide for detailed instructions.
