Telescope Wi-Fi Module for Smartphone Control

Turn your smartphone or tablet into your very own planetarium and observatory with the Celestron SkyPortal WiFi Module. By simply plugging the WiFi module into your telescope’s hand control or AUX port and connecting to its wireless signal with your device, you can transform your device into a wireless hand control for your telescope. This allows you to easily guide yourself through the alignment process and slew to any celestial object with just a tap.

As the SkyPortal WiFi Module slews your telescope to an object, you can access hundreds of included audio descriptions on your device. These descriptions provide information on the history, mythology, and key features of the most popular celestial objects. If you're unsure of what to observe, you can utilize the "Tonight’s Best" feature in the search menu of the SkyPortal app. This feature displays a list of the best objects to view based on your exact time and location, eliminating the need to input GPS coordinates or set the time and date as the SkyPortal WiFi Module automatically retrieves this information from your device.

The SkyPortal WiFi Module is an ideal gift for telescope users of all ages and skill levels, offering a guided tour of the universe that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
