Bisque TCS Professional Edition Telescope Control System

Upgrade your research-grade mount and give it the tools required for the digital age with the world's most sophisticated telescope control system — the Bisque TCS™. The Bisque TCS is already driving hundreds of research-class observatories and is the heart and soul of the highly respected and popular Paramount ME Robotic Telescope System.

The Bisque TCS includes the MKS 4000 dual axis motion control system. The MKS 4000 employs powerful, long lasting, brushless DC servomotors, AutoHoming sensors for rapid unattended startup, USB or serial interface, and the Bisque Observatory Software Suite (TheSky6™ Professional Edition, CCDSoft™, TPoint and ProTrack™, Orchestrate™, Internet Astronomy™ Client and Server Software — a $1,200.00 value).

The Bisque TCS comes with complete documentation and a step-by-step guide for easy retrofit installation. There’s even an optional Smart Start Hardware Kit that demonstrates exactly how the system integrates with your existing worm gears.
