Its LED panel is fully dimmable from 0-100% to precisely match exposure needs for any filter. The entire 400g unit is housed in a robust, 8mm thin aircraft-grade aluminum frame with a 250mm outer diameter, powered by a single 5V DC USB mini cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 120mm Uniform \u0026amp; Dimmable Flat-Field Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flatmaster Neo generates a flawlessly even field of light across its 120mm usable diameter, essential for professional-grade astrophotography and photometry. Unlike panels with fixed brightness levels, the Neo's LEDs can be adjusted from 0 to 100%, allowing you to set the perfect illumination for any filter without adding stacked paper or other diffusion materials. This precise control means you can achieve ideal ADU targets for LRGB filters and still have enough power for short 2-3 second exposures with 3nm narrowband filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRetractable 270° Servo Lid \u0026amp; Dust Cover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than just a flat panel, the Flatmaster Neo functions as an intelligent, automated lens cap. The servo-driven lid can be programmed to open anywhere from 0° to 270°, allowing you to set a custom maximum angle to avoid collisions with your mount or other equipment. When closed, it protects your telescope's objective from dust and moisture, and a specialized silicone flange creates a light-proof seal, preventing stray light from escaping during calibration in a shared observatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Dew Heater with 2 Environmental Sensors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for unattended remote operation, the Flatmaster Neo features an integrated dew heater on the panel's surface. A built-in temperature and humidity sensor allows the device to calculate the current dew point and automatically apply power to the heater, preventing moisture from forming. This ensures the panel surface is always dry, so no water gets trapped between the lid and your telescope lens when it closes. A third light sensor can automatically trigger the lid to close at sunrise, securing your optics for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Remote Control: Wi-Fi, Web Dashboard, and ASCOM Alpaca\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flatmaster Neo requires only a single 5V USB mini cable for both power and control, simplifying your cable management.
