SkyFi wireless telescope controller.

I used this on my G11 and Celestron mount, it allows you to control your mount via wifi, very neat. You can cotrol it via SkySafari on your phone, tablet, or via computer, Mac or PC.

$110 + post.

Almost exactly the same as this unit:

http://store.simulationcurriculum.co...escope-adapter

Runs on batteries or you can use a 6-12v power supply.

You will need to get a cable to suit your mount. (EQ6, Celestron, G11, IQ etc.) which you can order online (http://store.simulationcurriculum.co...e-serial-cable) or make your own.


My model will not run mounts that use USB only, but there are almost none out there.
It will control almost anything with a serial interface:
  • Meade LX-200 Classic and GPS
  • Meade LX-90, ETX, LXD, LX-400 ACF with AutoStar #497 controllers
  • Meade Magellan I and II
  • Meade ETX-LS
  • iOptron SmartStar/MiniTower mounts with 8402A controllers. 8402G not supported.
  • iOptron iEQ30/iEQ45 mounts with 8406/8407 controllers.
  • iOptron SmartEQ/ZEQ25 mounts with 8407/8408 controllers.
  • Celestron Ultima 2000
  • Celestron NexStar 4/5/8, 5i/8i, GPS, SLT, SE
  • Celestron CG5, CGE, CGEM, CPC
  • Orion Sirius, Atlas, SkyView Pro, SkyQuest XTg
  • SkyWatcher mounts with SynScan controllers
  • Takahashi Temma 2
  • Sidereal Technology SiTech controllers
  • ServoCAT Argo Navis, Sky Commander, Losmandy DSC
  • Astro-Physics GTO, Losmandy Gemini & Gemini 2, Vixen SkySensor 2000
  • Tangent Instruments BBox, JMI NGC-MAX, Celestron AstroMaster, Lumicon SkyVector, Takahashi Super Navigator, Dave Ek Box
  • Orion Intelliscope, Orion SkyWizard

Provide GPS?

Just checking, as I assume the answer is no, but can this unit provide a GPS fix from your phone to the mount for use in alignment?
