MiniAZ Go-To wifi mount with portable tripod and pier extension

Description

The AZ-GTi Wifi GOTO mount is therefore an altazimuth mount, the simplest, most comfortable, and versatile system to use, motorized in both axes and equipped with its own Wifi network. With your smartphone (Google Android or Apple iOS) and the free SynScan app, you can easily control your mount without needing to use any cables!

After entering the coordinates into the app and following the alignment procedure, you can explore the Universe with your smartphone or tablet. There’s no need to be familiar with the sky thanks to the database of over 10,000 objects… and using the dual-axis motor will prevent the need to manually compensate for the Earth’s rotation. The SkyWatcher AZ GOTO WIFI mount, AZ-GTi, even allows you to use SkyWatcher’s Freedom-Find™ technology to manually move your instrument without losing positioning (in other types of mounts, if you disengage the axes to make a manual movement, the telescope loses alignment and the process must be repeated). This way, you have maximum freedom and flexibility during your observations.

With a payload capacity of 5 kg (with an optional male Vixen-type dovetail), you can use binoculars up to 100/120 mm in diameter or Maksutovs up to 127mm, and small Newtonian telescopes. The retractable aluminum tripod is easily transportable. It’s a perfect set (mount + tripod) for the nomadic observer.
