About this product
Extremely compact, motor-driven Azimuthal GoTo mechanics that can be controlled via Wi-Fi on smartphones (or tablets), or even with Goto hand controller (optional). It is made for small telescope tubes, which can be fitted with a maximum of 5 kg, with a short tube length.
It is motor driven but can be moved manually as well. Automatic object search (GoTo) can be used with a smartphone (or tablet). The power supply is from 12V, but it can be operated with the built-in battery compartment (runs from 8 pcs AA batteries). Thanks to the internal power supply and wifi connection, the mechanism can be operated without any cables, which is extremely comfortable and safe. The included StarAdventurer tripod provides an extremely compact and lightweight set that is ideal for traveling. The head has standard 3/8 "connections, so it can be mounted on other photo tripods as well.
Connecting the telescope is quick and does not require a tool. The mount creates a Wi-Fi network that you can connect to your phone as you normally do. The required SynScan application can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store or Google Play stores. The mount is set up with 1 or 2-star alignment and then the mechanics will automatically be moved to the selected objects. There are several extra features available. Excellent cooperation with the SkySafari 5 planetarium program. The product is under development, so later options and other planetary programs will be available.
AZ-GTe: After aligning the telescope it is not advisable to move it manually, as it will lose the learned position and resume the aligning.
