With a weight of the head alone of 2kg, the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI-X Wi-Fi mount is proposed as the definitive motorized GOTO Wi-Fi mount for those who have always wanted a stable, lightweight and compact support to carry with them in the continuous search for dark skies far from light pollution, without sacrificing the convenience of motorization with automatic Wi-Fi pointing.

The maximum overall load capacity is 10kg if you choose to mount an optical tube on each side, while if you use a single optical tube it is 6kg. The versatility of the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI-X mount design will allow you to use even medium-sized tubes without incurring instability problems.

Thanks to the Vixen-type L-bracket included in the package, it will be possible to simultaneously use a telescope, mounting it on one side of the mount head, and a reflex or mirrorless camera to take wonderful images of celestial objects while observing visually. For those who want to control their camera directly from their smartphone, the SNAP input is available (optional cable required). Taking series of shots, timelapses, etc. will no longer be a problem.

The double Freedom Find encoders mounted on the axes will allow you to perform manual pointing of objects while always knowing the coordinates of the portion of the sky you are observing, ideal for explorers of the night sky who love to scrutinize and scan the depths of the sky without being tied to motors and clutches.

Fully controllable via Wi-Fi and the SynScan App, available free of charge in the respective stores for iOS and Android devices, you will have all the potential and features of the SynScan GoTo keypads incorporated into your smartphone: less bulk, greater ease of use and updates of maps and ephemerides always to the latest version available. Perform a quick alignment to one, two or three stars and you will have over 40,000 objects to point automatically and with very high precision. It will be sufficient to power the mount at 12V with batteries or external power supplies, perform a simple alignment and the DC Servo motors will keep the objects you are observing, clusters, galaxies, the Moon or planets, always at the center of the field of your telescope. You will no longer have to worry about micrometric movements, your Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI-X mount will guarantee you literally unforgettable nights of observations.
