The DragonFly Controller from Lunático Astronomía allows you to remotely-control your roll-off roof observatory (even from a mobile or tablet).

Why buy a DragonFly Controller?
  • Smart: can perform operations by itself (for example, send you an email or push message, reboot the router if no internet, WOL, etc…)
  • Smartphones support: custom control app
  • Universal: with ZeroConf, access it from anywhere – no configuration required
  • Versatile: roof open and close operations can be customized. Actions can be launched when a sensor or relay changes.
  • Secure: password protection available (3 levels)
  • Supported: complete ASCOM and INDIGO and INDIlib roof and switch drivers
If you choose to add the rail and mounting clip, please choose two clips for Dragonfly.

LA-ACASEL11 - Lunatico Astronomia Distance Sensor for Dragonfly
LA-ACASEL11 - Lunatico Astronomia Distance Sensor for Dragonfly
About This Product
Infrared distance sensor, perfect for checking if the mount is properly parked or not with Dragonfly.

It can be placed at any convenient place of the observatory (typically attached to the pier), and pointing so the IR light reflects in some point of the OTA or the counterweights, only in the safe (parked) position. Depending on the reflecting surface, it may be needed to place a bright white piece of plastic (or similar) to make detection possible.

We suggest to route the power of the sensor through one of the Dragonfly’s relays, so the unit is only active when measuring is needed – usually before opening or closing the roof.

Length cable: 1.50m. (others lengths, please contact us)
Detection range: 20 to 150cm
Cables for connection to the Dragonfly

LA-ACASEL29 - Lunatico Astronomia External Temperature Sensor for Dragonfly
About This Product
External temperature sensor for the Dragonfly.

This sensor allows to read the ambient temperature with the Dragonfly and handle it as any analog sensor, triggering actions, calling from scripts, etc.

Possible applications range from activating scope fans above a given temperature (with the sensor attached to the mirror), to turning on a heating system if the observatory temperature falls below a given limit (and the roof is closed!).

Several sensors can be attached to the Dragonfly
2m. cable to connect with the Dragonfly (for other lengths contact us)
Max temperature (sensor limit): +100°C
Min temperature (sensor limit): -30°C
