Now you can remotely open and close your telescope allowing you to use GIOTTO to record flat calibration frames without having to be at your telescope. ALTO provides a USB-C port to connect to your EAGLE or standard Windows computer that you choose to control it with our PLAY astrophotography software, or via a third party astronomy software using the ASCOM CoverCalibrator driver. You can also control ALTO by connecting to its WiFi network from your smartphone or tablet and use the included Virtual HandPad. The provided USB and 12V power passthrough plugs (to directly connect GIOTTO to ALTO) and the included Cable Locking Clips (CLC) allows you to improve cables management and simplify your telescope setup. ALTO natively runs off of a 12V power source to avoid the need for external power units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to automate the capture of your calibration files or if you are searching for the best way to remotely open and close your telescope, you can add the optional ALTO telescope cover motor paired with GIOTTO models as a remotely controlled motorized cap!

If your telescope has a short bar (for example on a refractor or Newtonian) you can easily add a longer dovetail bar to let you clamp ALTO just above or below the front end of your tube! This design allows you to adjust GIOTTO and ALTO positions to allow an optimal opening and closing of your telescope. In the bottom part of ALTO body you can find different M6 threaded holes that allow you to attach the ALTO to your telescope if you don't want to add the optional PLUS clamp (in this case you will have also to check how to fix ALTO on your telescope in order to allow the GIOTTO rotation). Note: since GIOTTO with ALTO can't seal the telescope front opening, we do not suggest to use GIOTTO with ALTO to record dark calibration frames; we suggest you to record a dark library instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALTO is Easy to Use with PLAY Software or ASCOM Driver\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can control ALTO with PLAY astrophotography software that we designed not only to control PrimaLuceLab devices but also to let you do astrophotography in the easiest way. In fact PLAY comes also with a special wizard that allows you to easily calibrate the opening and closing position of ALTO and GIOTTO installed on your telescope. Then with a simple mouse click you will be able to remotely open or close your telescope. And if you want to use your preferred Windows astrophotography software, you can also control ALTO by using third party software that supports the ASCOM CoverCalibrator driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/files\/ALTO-1-telescope-cover-motor-description6-PLAY-1-5.png?v=1686975684\" alt=\"ALTO Telescope Cover Motors for GIOTTO - ASCOM Driver\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUse the Virtual HandPad to Control ALTO Even Without a Computer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also control ALTO without a computer by connecting your smartphone or tablet to ALTO’s WiFi network, then access the controls via the built-in Virtual HandPad.
