This is the updated version of our Pegasus Astro FlatMaster 250L, our bigger, slimline, flatfield panel. It provides a uniform source of illumination for up to 10-inch telescopes and produces high-quality flat field frames for astrophotography and photometric captures.

This updated model has Wi-Fi capabilities and is fully ASCOM Alpaca compatible. The non Wi-Fi version has been discontinued, and we will sell our current stock at a discounted price.

Description

Dimmable Panel

Unlike other panels in the market, the FlatMaster can adjust its brightness from 0 to 100%. Forget sheets of paper between your telescope and the panel. Remote control the brightness of your panel. Store the brightness per filter and immediately retrieve the value you need.

The Flatmaster 250L can go up to very high brightness levels so it can easily support short exposures (2-3 seconds at f/7) with 3nm narrowband imaging filters


Manual Button

The FlatMaster has a small push button that sets different gradual levels of brightness. In case you would like to manually operate the FlatMaster, no problem, just click the push button to control the brightness.


One Cable Operation

Only one cable (USB) is required to provide power and control of your flatpanel.


Unity Platform Support

Unity Platform allows you to set filter names and store / retrieve brightness levels of your FlatMaster panel

Hannah ★★★★★

Setup was dead simple—the Wi-Fi connected to my mount's hub on the first try, no fussing with cables. The 250L's even illumination across my 10-inch scope has made flats a breeze, with none of the gradients I used to fight.

Julian M. ★★★★★

Finally, no more wrestling with uneven flats during processing. The uniform illumination on this panel is spot-on for my 10-inch scope, and the Wi-Fi control makes it effortless to set up from my laptop.

Owen ★★★★★

After fighting with gradient issues on my C9.25 for months, the 250L's even illumination across the entire field is a lifesaver for my flat frames. Setup was simple, and the panel sits flush against the scope without any light leaks.
