Features

• Azimuthal GoTo mount with WLAN controllable via app - mounting head with extension column and tripod

Product DescriptionThe AZ-GTi mount: This lightweight and very compact azimuthal mount supports optics up to 5 kg. Despite its small size, the mount has a computer control (GoTo) and tracks the telescope or camera to the selected celestial object. This can be achieved via the integrated WLAN (WiFi). The mount creates a Wi-Fi signal that allows you to connect to your smartphone or tablet. With the SynScan app from Skywatcher for Android or iOS, you can then control the telescope. The SynScan app's GoTo system allows you to select from around 10,000 objects. For this to work, the mount must first be aligned with the sky. For this so-called alignment, the app offers several methods that make it very easy even for beginners. You do not need any astronomical knowledge. By the way: you can not just select celestial objects from the app, the software also recommends special sights and helps you identify them. Since the SynScan app uses the graphical user interface of your mobile device, the operation is much more intuitive and easier than with the hand-held controls of classic mounts. The AZ-GTi is equipped with the patented encoder technology FreedomFind. Thanks to this technique, the mount does not lose orientation even if you move the optics by hand. So you can perform large pans by hand and fine adjustment via app. This is quick and saves electricity. Speaking of electricity: you can operate the mount via batteries or with a so-called power tank (DC 7.5 ~ 14 V, 0.75 A, tip positive). The mount can be connected to most photo tripods via the standardized 3/8 inch photo screw
