Sky-Watcher AZ-GTe WiFi GoTo ALT-AZIMUTH Mount & Tripod

The difference is that the GTi has dual encoders so you can declutch and manually move your scope without loosing your alignment and with the GTe you need to use the SynScan app (or handset) to slew around.

New to the Sky-Watcher family is the portable AZ-GTe.  This portable yet powerful alt-az tracking mount opens up a new world of wireless technology – by using Sky-Watcher’s proprietary smartphone app in lieu of a bulky hand controller.  The multi-purpose AZ-GTe combines Sky-Watcher’s 42,000+ object SynScan GoTo technology with more conventional video time-lapse and panoramic features, creating a small mount that packs a powerful punch.  As part of the AZ-GT family – along with the AZ GTi – the AZ-GTe provides an economic option to this multi-functional mount series. 

The AZ-GTe range of telescope & GoTo mount packages open up a new world of wireless technology – it works with your Smartphone or tablet providing you with a mount capable of accurate operation with the use of a simple Smartphone downloaded free app.

Use Wi-Fi to control your telescope wirelessly!

The mount is available by itself or with three different OTAs.

The best feature of this new app is the POINT AND GO feature.

Once the telescope is aligned simply point your phone to the part of the sky you want your telescope to point to – press the button, and the telescope will move to it. It will then tell you all the objects around that area.
