Looking for easy, simple-to-use, cable-free control? SkyWatcher's new SynScan wifi adapter is the perfect choice. With the module, you can control any SkyWatcher GoTo mechanic from an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet, or a Windows PC instead of a handheld controller, up to several meters away, using the free downloadable English language SynScan app.
It is highly recommended to purchase the Plus or Pro version of the SkySafari 5 app through our phone's app store, a complete planetarium program for your mobile phone that allows you to control your telescope with a few mouse clicks on its graphical interface.
The adapter is compatible with the following telescopes:
- SkyWatcher EQ-3 / EQ-5 / HEQ-5 SynScan or SynTrek / EQ-6R / AZ-EQ-5 / AZ-EQ-6 / EQ-8 goto mechanics
- SkyWatcher Az-Goto / Star Discovery / Goto dobson / Allview / Virtuoso mechanics
Of course, it is also compatible with retrofitted SynScan upgrade kits.
This product is not compatible with other brands of mechanics (e.g. Celestron, Meade) and can only be used with Android or iOS devices when used on a mobile phone.
