It is great because it can work with or without ASCOM and can support multiple software applications communicating simultaneously with it (kind of like how ASCOM Device hub works).

This is Bill Conrad of BRC Astro, LLC. My wife Robin and I are currently re-modeling our 1,440-sf facility located in the Chiefland Astronomy Village (Chiefland, Florida) to support the ServoCAT production. Please be patient while we order hundreds of parts required for us to begin. Some parts have up to a 16-week lead time. We hope to begin production of the Gen3 later this year.
Rest assured: Gary will be here supporting existing customers for the foreseeable future.
The website is being re-modeled and updated. The sales and support links will be functional upon completion of this effort and your patience is appreciated.
As an early adopter of the ServoCAT system, my Gen 1 has been operating flawlessly on my 25" Obsession for over 20 years. Now I will be upgrading to the latest features.
I encourage everyone to attend the Chiefland Astrofest Star Party at the Chiefland Astronomy Village Nov 11-17, 2023. Information is available at . If you can attend, please contact us for a mini tour of the ServoCAT facility just down the street.
I want to thank Gary Myers for his 30+ years of excellent service to the astronomy community. With 2,300 ServoCAT systems delivered around the world, he has made a major contribution to the enjoyment of night skies. He has made the transition of the business exceptionally smooth and comfortable. Robin and I wish him and his wife Jean a happy and well-deserved retirement.
Bill and Robin Conrad
