Pegasus Astro's FlatMaster 250 Dimmable WiFi Flat Field Illumination Panel make capturing superb flat calibration data easy, with even illumination across the 250 mm panel.

This illumination is adjustable to allow you to tailor the FlatMaster to your setup, and can reach levels suitable for short exposures even imaging trains using restrictive filters—with an f/7 system using 3 nm filters only needing 2-3 seconds to capture a suitable calibration frame. With WiFi, USB, and a manual brightness button, the Pegasus Astro FlatMaster can easily fit in your preferred workflow, making wrapping up your imaging session a cinch!

Superb Calibration
The Pegasus Astro FlatMaster 250
Dimmable WiFi Flat Field Illumination Panel gives you 150 mm of even and
adjustable illumination for calibration that will correct imaging train
aberrations without adding issues back in. This panel covers telescopes up
to 10" in aperture, and does not require any intermediate layers like
cloth or paper—simply point your telescope upwards and rest the
FlatMaster directly on top! The illumination this panel provides is
adjustable, ensuring that you can collect flat frames without overexposing
or underexposing setups, even up to those using aggressive 3 nm narrowband
imaging filters.
Versatile Control
Dialing in the FlatMaster is easy,
with three separate adjustment methods supported! If a hands-on approach is
your style, simply use the physical button next to the FlatMaster's USB B
data/power port to gradually increase the brightness. For more granular
control, connect this panel to USB and set FlatMaster's illumination from
the Pegasus Unity software* or your favorite ASCOM 7/ INDI compatible
imaging suite. Or hone in your brightness completely untethered, with 2.4
Ghz WiFi connectivity; simply connect your computer or mobile device to
FlatMaster's hotspot, navigate to "flatmaster.local" in your
browser, and use the brightness slider to set your perfect illumination
level! The Pegasus Astro FlatMaster 150 Dimmable WiFi Flat Field
Illumination Panel can also communicate with most imaging suites that
support the wireless ASCOM Alpaca protocol, and can be used wired/wirelessly
simultaneously, ensuring your ideal imaging process is supported!
Please Note: Pegasus Astro states that their Unity software suite
currently does not work with Windows machines equipped with the
Snapdragon line of CPUs.
