MBox is a small, self-contained weather sensing device that delivers barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and dew point information with high accuracy. It features a Micro-USB port and comes in a handy, small enclosure. A USB cable is supplied.
Sophisticated telescope mounts usually allow the creation of models to minimize inaccuracies in pointing and tracking that can result from mechanical tolerances, atmospheric refraction and other factors. In order for this model to be of the highest quality, the mount computer or controlling software can use the data that MBox provides and thus improve the accuracy in their calculations. Because of the small size of MBox, it can be used in both mobile astronomy as well as stationary setups inside an observatory.
Advantages:
- better tracking (atmospheric refraction)
- warning of risk of dew formation on lenses, heating necessary
- remote operation - rapidly rising humidity might indicate rain
- compatible with 10micron mounts
