Reviews

  Easy to set up  Plugged it into my AVX mount and using Direct mode it connected up very quickly and easily. Haven't got the WiFi mode to work yet. Direct mode stops you using your phone for calls etc. I use an old android phone specifically for this gadget. It doesnt work on Windows phones/tablets.  (10/11/2024) Mike - South Wales

  Works with Iphone13  Well packaged. Work well with IPhone 13 No technical ability required, plenty of tips on how to use on YouTube.  (10/02/2023) - Kent

  Super fast delivery.  Best price I could find online. Received it next day after ordered.  (11/10/2022) Roger Dyer - Devon

  Easy to use   Easy steps to get WiFi connected and make aligning my Celestron 60LCM much easier with the Sky Portal app on Android on my Samsung Galaxy phone.  (21/04/2021) Craig W - Cumbria

  Connects immediately!  This wifi module arrived very quickly and in great packaging. It plugged into my Celestron Nexstar 8SE very easily and connected to both the Sky Portal app and the CWPI software on the PC. Look forward to using it for my spectroscopy! Many thanks Harrison Telescopes!  (07/02/2021) Laura - Lincolnshire

  Brilliant  Control your telescope from indoors and with a wifi DSLR view from indoors as well  (25/07/2020) Alan - Newark

  Handy little device  This allowed me to connect from my old Android tablet with the Sky Portal app, in both direct and secure wi-fi modes. So far, I can only connect from my Moto G3 android phone running Sky Safari 6 plus in direct mode. Not a major problem, and I suspect the issue is me doing something wrong.  (12/05/2020) Dave - Fife

  Quick, easy and a big improvement  This product is a great upgrade to my Nexstar 5se. The app is simple to use, and the WiFi connects quickly and easily, and the app is a joy to use.  (25/04/2020) James - Surrey

  Great bit of kit  Unlike the old Sky Q link WiFi adapter the Skyportal WiFi adapter really works. Brilliant bit of kit especially when coupled on a scope with the Starsense system.  (18/04/2020) John - Salisbury

  worked first time  Easy set up and does exactly what it says it does. Best price i could find and fast delivery.   (07/03/2020) -

  Excellent Service  This was the first time I have used Harrison Telescopes. I ordered online midday on Friday and both items arrived on the Saturday. So far I have only used the Celestron Sky Portal. Very easy to use and setup as long as you follow the instructions. Definitely recommend Harrison Telescopes.   (07/02/2020) - Carlisle

  neat solution for convenient alignment on my AVX   Worked straight out of the box in a test run, but still waiting after 10 days for a clear night to use for real.   (26/08/2018) -

  Nice, compact accessory. Works well.  This has made aligning my SE6 really easy and accurate. Using a Wifi enabled DSLR with live feed allows you to move and take photos from the comfort of your lounge. Takes a bit of practice to get it right and do get an extension cord to avoid the scope hitting it when moving towards zenith.   (05/05/2018) Geoff Scott - Cornwall

  simplicity in itself  Again purchased Friday with star sense, arrived Monday very quick to set up had chance to use before snow from east   (27/02/2018) alan - swindon

  Easy WiFi  Bought this so that I could connect my Tablet to it, thought this would be a bit more adventure for my tech savvy 7 y/o daughter. I also have the GPS system so connected that into AUX port on base of my Nexstar 6se then the WiFi into the GPS, Very easy to set-up if instructions followed to the tee.   (10/08/2017) Chris Kennedy - Northamptonshire

  Brilliant Accessory   Plug it in, turn on your scope, connection and Alignment is so easy. The Sky Portal App is informative and Great to use, Good price and service from Harrison's as always.   (13/05/2017) Chris Sessions - London

  Superb little item  Works straight out of the box and gives full Wi-Fi access to my NexStar 4SE. No technical ability needed as it works as soon as you plug it in.   (21/04/2017) Mike Muscroft - Norwich

  Very Good, Very Easy!  Easy to set up then use. Just level the 'scope - GPS does the rest! Select Celestron in WiFi. Alignment is a cinch, then using GoTo and watching the crosshairs hit target is great. Controlling the 'scope with the tablet is very convenient and gives confidence concerning what you're aimed at.   (25/04/2016) Doug - Merseyside
