Pegasus Astro DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller
Be the master of your environment with this feature packed powerhouse from
Pegasus! With five channels capable of driving some of the largest anti-dew
measures that can be controlled via PC, mobile device, manually, or with
intelligent auto-pilot, it is hard to argue this dew controller doesn’t live
up to its name. If taking the reins is your goal, then look no further than
the Pegasus Astro DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller!
Dew can ruin otherwise stellar conditions by shrouding your view like a patch
of unexpected clouds; and fighting this can be almost as challenging as the
conditions that cause dew in the first place! With the DewMaster2 Digital Dew
Heater Controller however, Pegasus Astro gives you all the power, control, and
automation you could ask for and then some. This dew controller can cover
everything from traditional two heater band anti-dew solutions to complex
setups requiring three additional heating elements, thanks to its
five, individually controllable dew heater channels. These are each
equipped with high-capacity MOSFETs for delivery of up 6A per channel*.
Harnessing each of these channels can be done via the three-button and red
OLED screen on the device, wirelessly via a web portal, or through USB and PC
software — or you can let the DewMaster2 handle dew prevention
automatically with its environmental sensor (included) and up to two
temperature probes (not included)! All this power has been packed into a
premium 6061 aluminum housing featuring a flashy blue anodized finish, ready
for your custom mounting solution or a findershoe mount when combined with the
Pegasus Astro Synta-Style Base
(sold separately).
* – Please note that you will need a 5.5×2.1 mm power supply capable of
your total desired amperage draw. A power supply is not included.
Masterfully Crafted Anti-Dew Solution
When it comes to multi-channel dew prevention solutions, the Pegasus Astro
DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller delivers all the power, control,
environmental intelligence, and quality-of-life features you need to come out
on top in the battle against moisture!
Ample Output Power and Ports
The Pegasus Astro
DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller features 5 independently
controllable dew heater channels for comprehensive coverage of even complex
setups. These five RCA ports are backed by individual high-capacity MOSFET
transistors capable of supporting up to 6 Amps of power, ensuring that you
can drive demanding anti-dew equipment efficiently and reliably. Each port
is PWM controllable, allowing you to adjust the output to only what is
needed to fight dew and govern power usage! The DewMaster2’s power delivery
doesn’t stop at dew prevention either; with two 5.5×2.1 mm 12V DC
passthrough ports that can drive other astronomy gear off the same supply
feeding your dew controller!
Automatically Adaptable
While the DewMaster2 Digital
Dew Heater Controller features a healthy variety of manual control options,
Pegasus Astro has packed in robust automation for those looking for a
hands-off approach! By utilizing high-resolution temperature and humidity
readings from the included external environmental sensor, the DewMaster2 can
anticipate dew and automatically mobilize your anti-dew equipment
accordingly. For even more targeted monitoring the DewMaster2 features two
3.5 mm temperature probe inputs (probes not included), each of which can be
tied to a channel to provide even more precise dew protection and preventing
you from overshooting anti-dew heating targets.
Complete Control
For those looking to take the reins
Pegasus Astro has added both wireless and wired connectivity, allowing you
to establish granular control and integration from your device of choice!
With ASCOM driver and ASCOM Alpaca support you can take control of this
multi-channel dew controller through the USB-C port or its built-in WiFi
hotspot; allowing you to easily adjust outputs from your PC and integrate
with some of the most popular ASCOM-compatible imaging software suites on
the market today. For a more mobile control solution the DewMaster2
additionally can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet browser!
Simply connect to the WiFi hotspot, open your browser, and navigate to
“dewmaster2.local” for easy access to stats and device controls.
Easy-to-Use Physical Interface
If a more
self-contained dew control solution is what you’re after, the DewMaster2 has
this covered too! With a 2.1 inch 128 x 64 resolution OLED display the
Pegasus Astro DewMaster2 Digital Dew Heater Controller gives you at-a-glance
information about your dew heater outputs or environmental conditions. This
red display additionally works in conjunction with the three button
interface to allow you to adjust your dew heater outputs and view more
system information — no PC, smartphone, or tablet required!

I have now used it several times in conditions where my books by table, my gear cases were covered with dew but my eyepieces telrad and Finder scope were all dew free at 3 am when I called it a night
