The field of view of the sensor is restricted to 10degrees and points where your telescope is looking thereby providing accurate sensing of cloud where you are imaging only. However it is presented in a much smaller package and is designed to be mounted on the end of your OTA. HitecWeather USB contains a cloud sensor and ambient temperature sensor. HitecWeather USB in many ways is the little brother of the two however its function is very different as you will see. Rain sensor integrates a controllable inbuilt heater to avoid false alarms caused by dew or frost. Rain sensor will alert you at the first drop of rain potentially saving you a lot of money should a sudden rain shower pass over.Separate and highly accurate ambient temperature sensor is located outside the box so as not to be affected by electronic heat.This removes the need for a light sensor. Astronomical calculations are done on the fly to allow factors such as twilight and moonlight to be factored into your observing decisions.E-Mail alerts are fully configurable so you get the information you need when you need it.Power and signal are provided through a single cable.RS232 cable allows unit to be located up to 150ft from the host PC.Sensor parameters are fully adjustable to suit your location and climate.

Just some of these features are listed below
Astro weather calculator software#
HitecWeather Deluxe comes with a comprehensive software suite containing advanced features not found on competing products. The unit is designed to be located outdoors permanently so you never need to miss a clear sky again. Utilising an RS232 connection allows a much longer cable run than is possible with USB. HitecWeather deluxe is a fully featured cloud sensor with integrated ambient and rain sensor. HitecWeather USB and HitecWeather Deluxe offer cloud sensing and much, much more at a price which won’t break the bank.Īlthough they are stable mates and on the face of it seem similar, both products are very different and indeed serve the astronomer with a very different set of functionality and solve two distinct problems.

Hitecastro are delighted to announce the latest additions to our product line up. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a permanent eye on the sky to tell you when it’s clear outside. Sound familiar?Ĭlearly a cloud sensor would be ideal. Later on you step outside and viola the sky is beautifully clear and has been so while you were inside watching TV. How many times has it happened to you? The weather forecast doesn’t look to promising for observing imaging so rather than waste time cloud watching you settle down to watch the sports or a good movie.
