SkyWatcher AZ-GTi WiFi GoTo Alt-Azimuth Mount and Tripod

Further details

The compact lightweight and highly portable Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi Alt-Azimuth Mount, with it's built-in WiFi module, has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android.

Simple APP WiFi GoTo technology
The AZ-GTi creates it’s very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used without any reliance on other WiFi networks. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu. The AZ-GTi and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing your telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.

Stays aligned even when moved manually
Freedom find means you do not lose the alignment if you move the axis manually. Incorporates Sky-Watcher’s Freedom-Find™ patented Dual-Encoder Technology, which allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without the mount losing its positional information. This gives the user enormous freedom, convenience and flexibility during observational sessions. The mount is quiet in operation, has a payload capacity of up to 5kg and accepts telescopes with standard 45mm Dovetail Bars.

Reviews

  Excellent bit of kit  The service from purchase to delivery was excellent. The AZ-GTI is simple to use, light and sturdy together with the tripod. You may need to update your SkySafari 6 Pro app to allow it to connect and use the EQ options with a wedge too. My new grab and go setup.  (23/11/2021) Steve Regan - Piercebridge

  great bit of kit  I'd read that the tripod wasn't as good as it could be but I think it is fine. it doesn't wobble for more than 10 seconds after focussing and is a sturdy little tripod. The mount its self is easy to use and quite accurate after alignment. Very glad I got it.  (25/07/2021) Mike - North East

  Satisfied purchase  Found this item on the internet at the standard price being offered elsewhere, however unlike the other suppliers it was in stock and the post and packing was considerably less. Arrived within two days. Very satisfied with both the product and the service supplied.  (28/02/2021) - Worcestershire
