Tecnosky AstroPC PRO PLUS V3

The Astropc Pro Plus is a mini computer assembled with features that make it perfect for controlling your telescope with ccd and mount, both in the field and in the observatory.
The market is full of minipcs but with features that never fully reflect the needs of the astrophile.
We have selected two models that differ in terms of processor and number of ports on the case.
