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.
