About this product
Streamline your night under the stars with the Sky-Watcher SynLink Astrophotographic Controller, a comprehensive command hub designed to unify your complete deep-sky imaging setup. By combining power distribution, high-speed connectivity, and intelligent rig automation into one compact unit, it eliminates cumbersome cables and removes the need to haul a laptop outdoors. Direct your entire session wirelessly from your preferred phone, tablet, or desktop while dedicated automated routines handle the complex technical workflows.
Unified Hub
Integrated power and USB routing
Dual-Band Wi-Fi
Fast 2.4GHz & 5GHz control
Smart Centring
Plate solving & autofocus
64 GB Storage
Built-in onboard capacity
Consolidated Field Architecture
Mounting cleanly onto your telescope optical tube or equatorial mount, the SynLink serves as an all-in-one power and data nerve centre. It distributes power across four 12V DC ports, powers two dedicated dew straps, and manages seven versatile USB interfaces, including four fast USB 3.0 sockets and a USB Type-C port. With a native UART interface for Sky-Watcher mounts, your gear connects directly without extra third-party dongles, drastically cutting down on cable snag risks.
Intelligent Automated Imaging
Spend less time troubleshooting and more time gathering pristine celestial photons. Cross-platform software guides you smoothly through polar alignment routines, executes precision focus wizards, and solves star fields for precise automated GOTO positioning. Whether shooting individual long exposures, deep-sky sequences, mosaics, or Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA) sessions, every target stays accurately framed throughout the night.
Autonomous Targeting Control Experience hands-off operation with built-in plate solving, automated target centring, and integrated dual-dew heater regulation across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS devices.
Key Features
Centralised Equipment Control – Unifies power distribution, camera interfaces, focusers, rotators, and filter wheels into a single tidy hub.
Dual-Band Wireless – Connect reliably across 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands to control your imaging session from handheld or desktop devices.
Dual Dew Heater Ports – Keep optics moisture-free throughout cold imaging runs with two dedicated, integrated dew strap controller outputs.
Integrated Plate Solving – Lock onto celestial coordinates and frame targets precisely without relying on tedious manual star alignments.
64 GB Internal Storage – Save extensive image runs directly onboard, supplemented with full support for external high-speed storage drives.
Protected High-Current Power – Handles up to 14A DC with built-in reverse-polarity protection to safeguard valuable connected astronomical equipment.
Versatile Capture Modes – Tailored for deep-sky capture and EAA with dedicated routines for single exposures, automated sequences, and mosaic framing.
