Sky-Watcher AZ-GTiX Azimuthal Mount with Tripod
The highly transportable Sky-Watcher AZ-GTiX azimuthal mount features a built-in Wi-Fi module, allowing seamless wireless control via your smartphone or tablet. By simply installing the free SynScan app for iOS or Android, users gain full automated access to the night sky. This lightweight yet powerful setup from SkyHunters combines silent operation with exceptional payload versatility, making it perfect for grab-and-go astronomy and on-the-field observation.
Key advantages
- Wireless Wi-Fi Control: The mount generates its own Wi-Fi network, automatically syncing essential tracking parameters like location, time, and date from your mobile device.
- Dual Saddle Configuration: Capable of holding a single load up to 6kg or carrying two separate instruments up to 10kg simultaneously, such as a telescope and a camera.
- Patented Freedom Find™ Encoders: Features a dual-encoder system that enables manual adjustments without losing the computer”s alignment, saving alignment time and power.
- Full GoTo Computerized System: Integrated servomotors automatically point the telescope toward any of the 10,000+ celestial objects in the database and compensate for Earth's rotation.
- Universal Tripod Connection: Weighing only 2kg, the compact mount head can be installed on any photographic tripod equipped with a standard 3/8” thread.
Product description
The AZ-GTiX mount operates very quietly and accepts standard 45mm Vixen-style prism rails. Included as standard are an L-bracket with an additional fifth-wheel plate and a 61mm extension pole. Following a straightforward procedure via the intuitive SynScan application, your telescope will be aligned and ready to explore the universe within minutes.
When combined with the app, the system tracks objects precisely, holding them steady inside your eyepiece. For optimized lunar and planetary observations, the expert team at SkyHunters suggests pairing this mount with a high-quality Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope, such as the SkyMax MC 150/1800 OTA or the MC 127/1500 127T OTA.
