Deep Sky Dad: AF3 production

Deep Sky Dad

AF3 production officially started

AF3 was developed from our experience with AF1/AF2 and feedback from our customers.

It has reduced noise/vibration and increased accuracy with microsteps down to 1/256 (AF1 and AF2 had microsteps down to 1/8). It also retains the hand controller and temperature sensor options, available in AF2. The only con in comparison with the AF2 is lack of Wifi. But it will come back in AF3 Pro, hopefully in wireless ASCOM driver, stay tuned

Below you can also see the comparison table between AF1, AF2 and AF3.
