Currently, WandererCover V4-EC provides 7 models: luminous diameters 80mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 190mm, 225mm and 240mm. They are suitable for telescopes with an aperture of 2 inches to 8 inches. ASCOM and INDI compatible, and with the latest firmware, it supports control via ZWO ASIAIR Plus, ToupTek StellaVita, and any device capable of controlling the DC switch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eonly difference between the V4-EC IR and V4-EC is the addition of infrared remote control functionality.
