Pegasus Astro Uranus Meteo Sensor

Device “talks” every second (configurable time interval) with a network of embedded sensors and reports the following information on screen display.

Ambient Temperature (°C or °F)
Relative Humidity %
Dew Point (°C or °F)
Absolute Atmospheric Pressure – Sea Level Pressure (hPa)
Relative Atmospheric Pressure (hPa)
Altitude (m or ft.)
Cloud Coverage (Cloud Index)
Cloud Temperature
Cloud Height

Measurement of the sky brightness can be achieved if you keep the right button pressed for more than a second.

Visual Sky Brightness (MPSAS, NELM and Bortle Scale)

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. Additional calculations

Astronomical Sunrise & Twilight Time based on GPS coords

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

The device has an internal memory able to store up to 1000 records. Each record includes all sensor data and GPS coordinates. The software allows, via USB, to view and export all of these data to Unity Platform maps, keeping historic records of visited places.

Handheld or PC

Uranus Meteo Sensor can be used as a handheld device or plugged via a USB2 cable to your PC or Laptop. The enclosure has 2 x 3mm holes at the bottom to securely lock the device on your telescope or in your observatory.

GPS port

GPS port allows you to output full GPS NMEA messages to a serial device. The pinout is compatible with 10Micron mounts.

Rechargeable battery

The device has a NiMH rechargeable (through USB-C port) battery pack.
