The highly portable Sky-Watcher Startravel 102 AZ-Go2 Wifi Refractor has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The AZ-Go2 mounting, with it's built-in WiFi module, creates it’s very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile 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-Go2 and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.
The Startravel 102 is a fully multi coated 2 element air spaced achromatic refractor and a well proven performer for deep sky observing of star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and does pretty well on the Moon and Planets too.
