FlatMaster 150 / 250
QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
Thank you for choosing our product

The Pegasus Astro FlatMaster 150 / 250 is a dimmable, flatfield electroluminescent panel for up to 5’’ / 10’’ telescopes. It provides a uniform source of illumination and produces high-quality flat field frames for astrophotography and photometric captures.

Operating Instructions:

  • Mount the 4 plastic standoffs on the top screws of the Flatmaster. Adjust the standoffs based on your telescope’s hood diameter.
  • Plug the USB cable to USB Socket at the back of the panel. A single cable provides power and control of your panel.
  • Plug the other USB side into your computer or into a power bank.
  • FlatMaster 150 /250 will instantly turn on at its maximum brightness. (default luminance profile)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FlatMaster produces a high pitch acoustic noise in order to drive the Electroluminescent panel. This is normal.

  • Click the button to select five (5) dimming levels or connect via standalone software to select the desired brightness level.

Hint: The FlatMaster is not extremely bright on purpose. During the night, its brightness is adequate to capture good flat frames. If you have a full-frame CCD camera (a mechanical shutter always is in use) you need to take at least flat frames of 3 seconds exposure to avoid the shutter movement/shadow.

What is in the box:

  • 1 x FlatMaster Panel
  • 1 x 1.8m Type B USB cable
  • 4 x Plastic standoff (3 and 1 spare)

The device is covered by one (1) year warranty
Designed and Assembled in Greece
