Sky-watcher SynScan kit for Dobson 10" (SW-4255)

At the heart of the kit is the SynScan controller, the same model used in HEQ5 and EQ6 mounts. This controller enables you to find any of over 30,000 astronomical objects, making observing with a Dobsonian telescope much easier. The system tracks objects automatically, significantly enhancing the observing experience.

The GoTo Upgrade Kit consists of new telescope base plates (Dobsonian mount base) with pre-installed motors. The kit includes all the parts needed for installation, such as special clamps for the optical tube, motor housings, screws, all necessary wiring, and the GoTo controller itself.

This version is designed for Synta SKDOB 10 (standard version) and BKDOB 10 Tube Flex (collapsible Dobsonian) telescopes.
