Key Features
Patented Design

The WandererCover V5 Basic is the world's first motorized flat panel that connects a full-sized LED PCB directly to the motor arm. This innovative design is patented and delivers a series of game-changing advantages.

More Uniform
Traditional edge-lit LED flat panels can suffer from uneven brightness, particularly brighter edges, as well as inconsistent manufacturing quality. Our LED-backlit design takes illumination uniformity to an entirely new level, delivering consistent brightness from edge to center, typically within 5% difference. The WandererCover V5 Basic also features 255-level flicker-free dimming at exposure times as short as 0.05 seconds.
Broad Spectrum
The WandererCover V5 Basic offers a broader emission spectrum, providing ample brightness across 400–720+ nm while maintaining effective illumination in the near-infrared region.
30% Lighter

Thanks to its patented LED-backlit design, the LED PCB also serves as a structural component, directly connecting to the motorized mechanism. Its hollow construction reduces weight by 30% compared with edge-lit flat panels. Less weight means lower payload , improved reliability, longer life, and better guiding.

Darkness Friendly
The WandererCover V5 Basic eliminates unnecessary power indicator lights, keeping your equipment hidden in the darkness without disturbing a single photon of starlight. Besides, when the cover is open, it also blocks any commands to turn on the flat light, preventing accidental operation.
270°+ Opening Angle

The WandererCover V5 Basic features upgraded, reliable obstacle detection that stops the cover whenever an obstruction is encountered. Its opening angle of over 270° allows the cover to fold back against the telescope tube, staying securely in place without wobbling.

Replaceable Panels
Thanks to its modular design, the panel can be safely and easily replaced with a different size. Replacement panels are available separately, keeping your setup flexible!
Easier Control

Beyond standard ASCOM and INDI support, the WandererCover V5 Basic is also natively supported by Sky-Watcher SynLink. The auxiliary (AUX) input lets you easily control the cover using the power switches on your ASIAIR or Stellavita.
