Pegasus Astro
Pegasus Pocket Powerbox Advance (PPBADV) Gen3
$549.00
Six power ports. Six USB ports. One pocket box.
The Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen3 powers, connects and focuses your entire astrophotography setup from a single 350-gram enclosure. Set it up once, then let it run the night.
Everything your mount carries, in a single box.
Power bricks, a USB hub, a dew controller and a focus-motor box used to crowd your tripod and tangle your cables. The Gen3 folds all of it into one blue anodised unit that mounts to your scope and runs from a single 12V input.
One hub for every cable on your rig.
Six power outputs.
Four individually switchable 12V outputs, one always-on 12V line and one adjustable 3–19V output. Up to 12A is distributed across the 12V outputs at 6A per port, each with reverse-polarity and over-current protection.
Six-port USB 3 hub.
Four USB3 Type-A SuperSpeed ports plus two USB2 Type-C ports, each switchable in software. The 5 Gbps SuperSpeed lanes run in parallel with USB 2.0 traffic, so guiding and image downloads never slow each other down.
A focuser, built in.
An onboard stepper motor controller drives most bipolar focus motors at up to 1.5A per coil. Add a motor and skip the separate focus box, then run power and focus through the same software.
AutoDew clears optics.
Two PWM dew-heater channels at 5A each read the included dew-point sensor and adjust their own power. One tap on Auto and the Gen3 holds your optics above dew for the whole session.
See every watt.
A built-in volt, amp and power meter reports input voltage and total draw in real time. Spot a stuck motor or a failing cable before it costs you a clear night.
Control it from any browser.
Built-in Wi-Fi serves a web dashboard to your phone or laptop with no app to install. Run the whole box over the network and leave the cables on the mount.
Set it up once. Every clear night after, it just remembers.
A considered face on every side.
Each panel groups the connections you reach for together, labelled and spaced so you can find them in the dark.
Four switchable 12V outputs, the always-on 12V line and the adjustable 3–19V output.
Four USB3 Type-A ports plus two USB-C ports, with USB-C Power Delivery up to 3A.
Two PWM dew-heater outputs on RCA connectors, set by software or left to AutoDew.
A single 2.1mm DC input feeds the whole box, drawing up to 14A.
Engineered to be left alone in the dark.
Works out of the box.
Set up AutoDew and your outputs once, and the Gen3 restores them every time it powers on. No laptop is required to run a full night.
3 to 19V, on tap.
One software-adjustable output delivers 3–19V at up to 3A and remembers its setting across power cycles. Ideal for a Mini PC, an Intel NUC or a mirrorless camera.
Guarded against mistakes.
Reverse-polarity and over-voltage protection handle inputs up to 50V, and every USB port carries surge and ESD protection. Plug in with cold hands and trust it.
Firmware you can update.
The Gen3 accepts firmware updates over its life, adding features and fixes as Pegasus Astro releases them. The box you buy keeps improving.
350 g of anodised aluminium.
A blue anodised aluminium shell measures just 115 × 75 × 27.5mm and carries M3 mounting holes for third-party brackets. Tough enough for the field, light enough for any mount.
Works with your software.
Full ASCOM 7, ASCOM Alpaca and INDI support exposes the switches, focuser and observing conditions to the apps you already use, on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Everything it ships with, and everything it does.
12A total distributed across the 12V power outputs, 6A per port.
Each 12V output switches on and off individually in software.
Adjustable 3–19V output at up to 3A, set in software and retained.
Two PWM dew-heater channels, 5A each, on RCA connectors.
Included temperature, humidity and dew-point sensor on RJ12.
EXT port (RJ12) for accessories such as an external focus controller.
USB-C Power Delivery output up to 3A for supported devices.
Built-in volt, amp and power metering of your input supply.
ASCOM 7, ASCOM Alpaca and INDI compatible.
In the box: controller, environmental sensor, four DC power cables (2 × 1m, 2 × 0.5m) and a 1.8m USB3 Type-B cable.
