Wanderer Astro
Wanderer Astro makes the control and power hardware that turns a collection of separate devices into one manageable rig — power distribution boxes, motorized dust covers that double as flat panels, focus motors, rotators and dew controllers, generally at prices well below the established alternatives. David Astro carries Wanderer Astro products in Canada, held in stock for fast domestic shipping.

Afficher tous les détailsThe Wanderer Astro Range
The line targets the practical problems of an automated rig: too many power supplies, too many cables, and no way to take flats without going outside.
- Power distribution boxes: One supply in, multiple regulated and individually switchable outputs out, with dew heater channels and current monitoring.
- Motorized covers and flat panels: An automated dust cover that closes over the aperture and illuminates for flat frames, then reopens — the key component for unattended calibration.
- Focus motors: Stepper drives with absolute positioning that retrofit to existing focusers, enabling autofocus and temperature compensation.
- Rotators: Camera rotation with position feedback for framing and off-axis guide star selection.
- Dew heater controllers: Multi-channel pulse-width control, often integrated into the power distribution box rather than as a separate device.
- Software integration: Driver support for the common automation packages, which is what determines whether the hardware is useful in your workflow.
Why Choose David Astro for Wanderer Astro
Automation hardware is only worth buying if it works inside the software you already use.
- Software compatibility confirmed: We check driver support against your automation package before you order, since that is where these purchases most often disappoint.
- Power budgeted: We total your loads against the distribution box's capacity, including dew heaters, which are frequently underestimated.
- Cold-weather advice: We discuss cable routing and current headroom for winter operation, where voltage sag causes most faults.
- Authorized dealer: Full manufacturer warranty with support handled in Canada.
- Ships from Canada: No duties or brokerage fees for Canadian buyers.
Wanderer Astro in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a motorized flat panel?
- For unattended or remote operation, it is the piece that makes automated calibration possible. If you are present at the telescope, a manual panel achieves the same result for less.
- Will these work with my software?
- Driver support covers the common automation packages, but the specific combination matters. Tell us what you run and we will confirm before you order.
- How much power capacity do I need?
- Total mount, cameras, focuser, rotator and dew heaters, then add margin. Dew heaters alone can approach the mount's draw, and running a distribution box near capacity causes intermittent faults.
- Can I add a focus motor to my existing focuser?
- Often yes, through a bracket that couples to the fine-focus shaft. Tell us the focuser model and we will confirm whether a suitable bracket exists.
