Lacerta MGEN-3 advance information:
The MGEN-3 is the successor to the legendary M-Gen, with which amateurs and professionals have successfully guided their astro recordings for years. The MGEN-3 is as reliable as its predecessor, but it offers significant enhancements. In particular, the MGEN-3 offers the new self-learning AI multistar guiding.
Nevertheless, of course, if you want, you have full manual control over all parameters. But who wants that if the AI continuously parameterizes itself in the background?
