Pegasus Uranus Meteo Sensor

This pocket-sized device is an all-around astronomer/astro-photographer companion.

Smaller than the size of a cigarette box, and equipped with a variety of digital sensors, can precisely report the ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, cloud height, cloud coverage, astronomical twilight time, and the night sky brightness.

Store all sensor readouts into internal memory banks. Retrieve and keep historic records of your visited sites.

A highly digital sensitive sensor measures the brightness of the night sky at a 30° angle. You can determine the sky’s brightness within seconds. The device displays three different scales on-screen (magnitudes per arc second², visual mags, lux).

Compare the sky brightness at different sites or documentation of progressive light pollution in your area.

Uranus Meteo Station is housed in high quality, blue aluminum anodized shell.

Digital Sensors
Device “talks” with a network of embedded sensors and reports information on the red screen display.

Memory Banks
All sensor readouts can be easily stored into internal memory with a click of a button.

Retrieve these records from our supplied software and keep historic records of the environmental conditions for the places you have visited.

GPS
Uranus Meteo Sensor has an internal GPS receiver able to report:

• Accurate GPS Date and Time
• Latitude & Longitude
• Speed & Bearing
• Altitude
• Helps to calculate the exact astronomical dawn and twilight time of your place.

Digital Environmental Sensors
Device “talks” every second (configurable time interval) with a network of embedded sensors and reports all readouts on the display.

A highly digital sensitive sensor measures the brightness of the night sky at a 30° angle. You can determine the sky’s brightness within seconds. Compare the sky brightness at different sites or documentation of progressive light pollution in your area.

A cloud sensor detemines the cloud coverage % of your night sky.

On Screen Display Menus

Uranus Meteo Sensor displays all sensor readings on different menus that can be accessed by the two buttons on the top of the handheld device

• Imperial or Metric system display can be configured via the Unity platform software

Other Key Features

Memory Banks
