Further details

The SynScan WiFi Adaptor Module is compatible with all of the SkyWatcher Go-To telescopes and mounts allowing full control via an android smartphone or tablet. Either the SynScan App or SynScan PRO App, which are available as a free download from the Google Play or App Store.

Control your SkyWatcher goto telescope with a smartphone or tablet.
The WiFi adaptor module creates it’s own WiFi network, so the telescope or mount can be used anywhere, without any need for internet access or wifi hotspots. After connecting your device via the Synscan App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menus. The App also speeds up alignment by selecting location sensor which automatically inputs your exact location directly to your telescope.

The SynScan Apps also support the SkySafari Plus/Pro mobile planetarium App for Android and iOS (Please note that iOS connectivity at time of writing is currently limited and two devices are required).

Both the SynScan App and SynScan Pro App now support ASCOM standard platform for slewing, GOTO and Pulse Guiding. The SkyWatcher ASCOM telescope driver can be downloaded free from www.skywatcher.com

Replaces the handset
The adapter plugs in to the handset socket of the mount, either with one of the two supplied cables or in some cases such as the EQ6 by using the original handset cable. Once fitted the standard handset is not used and should not be plugged in while using the wifi adapter.

10/10 SkyWatcher SynScan WiFi Adapter I bought this as as an alternative to being connected via the USB cable. I fitted this where the handset controller goes. using Synscan pro software, Working fine (11/03/2024) -

10/10 Great Product Great easy to use product purchased after very helpful advice (09/04/2023) -

10/10 At last I can control my telescope The WiFi adaptor for the SkyWatcher GOTO AZ mount connected first time and was able to crontrol the telescope from the App without any glitches. (13/02/2023) brian - Gloucester

10/10 Quick and convenient I don't have the luxury of a permanently installed scope amd although it's easy enough to mark 'foot positions' for a tripod, I have to run through setup each time. The wifi adapter is a huge plus by eliminating all but the star setting steps - time etc. being passed from my phone. (02/10/2022) William - South coast, UK

10/10 Super Quick Service Not much to say really it works really well and simple to setup and super fast service from Harrison Telescopes (24/01/2022) Tony - East Yorkshire

10/10 Saves a load of hassle Nothing to set up. Once in and powered on, new alignment options available. Easy then to go straight to target. Recommended, saves time and trouble. Note, if alignment is repeated, RESET it first from SYNSCAN, otherwise it can get in a pickle. (10/01/2022) Richard - Derby

10/10 Synscan Wifi Dongle solves the problem! My AzGTi mount was locked in Firmware Update mode. I could not resolve the problem unless I purchased the SynScan WiFi dongle. This worked a treat and now I am back to full control - in Equatorial mode - of my mount. Brilliant. The item was sent by Harrison Telescopes - immediately. Wonderful!
