Sky-Watcher Mount AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi with Tripod

The AZ-GTi mount is a compact and lightweight altazimuth mount capable of carrying optics weighing up to 5 kg.

Despite its modest size, this mount features computer-controlled GoTo functionality for tracking astronomical objects using a telescope or camera. It connects to your smartphone or tablet via its built-in Wi-Fi, enabling control through the SkyWatcher SynScan app available for both Android and iOS devices.

The SynScan app grants access to approximately 10,000 celestial objects. For successful operation, the mount requires initial alignment with the night sky, facilitated by user-friendly methods within the app, making it approachable even for beginners without prior astronomical knowledge. Additionally, the app suggests objects of particular interest and assists in their identification, utilizing the intuitive graphical interface of your mobile device for simpler operation compared to traditional hand controls.

Equipped with patented FreedomFind encoder technology, the AZ-GTi maintains its orientation even if you manually reposition the telescope or camera, allowing you to manually slew near an object and let the GoTo system make precise adjustments, enhancing speed and conserving power.

Regarding power, the mount can be operated with batteries or a 'Powertank' (DC 7.5 ~14V, 0.75A, tip positive).

The mount also features a standard 3/8" photo screw, making it compatible with most camera tripods.
