Skywatcher Mercury-707 70mm (2.75") f/10 refractor with WiFi-Goto mount AZ-GTE The highly portable Skywatcher AZ-GTe has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The AZ-GTe mounting, with it's built-in WiFi module, creates its 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 Apps intuitive touchscreen menu.
The AZ-GTe and the SynScan App provide full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the Apps extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.
A useful supplement to it is the two-element, air-spaced achromatic Mercury-707 refractor with its 70mm multi-coated objective lens. It will provide rewarding views of the moon, stars, bright planets and other night sky objects.
Please note: The AZ-GTe mount is identical to the AZ-GTi, except Freedom-Find dual-axis encoders are not present.
Power supply and batteries are not included.
