Great Deal Sky-watcher Synscan Wifi Adapter Upgraded Model [JSNA5HZY]

Sky-Watcher SynScan Wi-Fi Adapter – Seamless Wireless Telescope Control

The Sky-Watcher SynScan Wi-Fi Adapter is your gateway to wireless telescope control, unlocking a world of convenience and advanced functionality for your Sky-Watcher mount. Whether you're setting up for a night of casual stargazing or preparing for a full astrophotography session, this compact yet powerful accessory allows you to ditch the hand controller and command your telescope directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Cable-Free Control for Modern Astronomy

Designed to work with most Sky-Watcher GoTo mounts, the SynScan Wi-Fi Adapter plugs directly into the hand controller port of your mount. It creates its own local Wi-Fi network, which means you don't need to rely on a home internet connection or cellular signal. Simply connect your device to the adapter’s network, launch the free SynScan Pro app (available for iOS and Android), and you’re ready to explore the night sky.

This adapter is compatible with mounts such as the AZ-GTi, EQ6-R Pro, HEQ5, EQM-35, AZ-EQ5, and more. It supports both alt-azimuth and equatorial tracking modes, automatically detecting the mount type and adjusting accordingly.

Feature-Rich and Easy to Use

Using the SynScan Pro app, you gain access to a full database of over 42,000 celestial objects, including Messier, NGC, IC, Caldwell catalogs, solar system targets, and even user-defined objects. With just a few taps, you can align, slew, and track objects across the sky—all from the intuitive touchscreen interface of your smart device.

For users running planetarium software, the adapter supports third-party app integration via the SynScan app’s support for ASCOM (Windows) and INDI (Linux/Mac) protocols. This makes it a great choice for astrophotographers and advanced users who want wireless mount control through platforms like Stellarium, SkySafari, or EQMOD.

Smooth, Responsive Performance

The Wi-Fi connection between your device and the adapter offers low-latency control with real-time feedback. Mount movement commands are responsive and reliable, and the app provides visual feedback on tracking status, alignment progress, and telescope pointing.

Power is drawn directly from the mount, so there’s no need for an additional battery or external power supply. The adapter features a simple LED indicator for connection status, and its low-profile design means it won’t interfere with other cables or accessories on your setup.
