About this product

Model:  sw_synscan_wifi
Part Number:  20318

Plugs into the mount's handset port (via one of the supplied RJ12 -> RJ45 or RJ45 -> RJ45 cables) to provide wireless control from a smartphone or tablet using the SynScan or SynScan Pro app or, from a PC via ASCOM.

No batteries are required as the operating current is provided by the mount. (Please note the EQ6 PRO should be connected to the Wi-Fi Adaptor Module using the hand control cable originally supplied with the mount).

Creates it’s own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere without reliance on other Wi-Fi or mobile networks. After entering your coordinates into the relevant Synscan App and following a simple alignment procedure - you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menus.

Also supports 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).

The SynScan App and SynScan Pro App now support ASCOM for slewing, GOTO and Pulse Guiding. The Sky-Watcher ASCOM telescope driver can be downloaded from www.skywatcher.com

Please note: This WiFi adapter replaces the mount's handset.

A great upgrade for my Sky-watcher Virtuoso.
08 November 2023  | 

Ordered alongside my Sky-watcher Heritage 90 Virtuoso to fully upgrade to a Go-To mount, works superbly via the app on my Android Phone. A good supply of clouds arrived at the same time, unfortunately. Easy to setup, only used briefly once, to setup so look forward to a full session soon. Thanks FLO for your continued excellent Customer Service.

Just getting into astro photography but have been struggling with the wired syncscan. This wireless option has made my life far easier, so now I operate my EQ5 from all those floating cables. No problem with connection on an iphone 13 max pro. It even worked from indoors where I have my photo camera connected wireless to my laptop. Distance is around 5meters.

A very convenient and useful thing that allows you to use the mount with your phone and application, which saves valuable time during night observations.

Thanks to FLO for the good price and excellent shipment.
The adapter works with AZ-EQ5 Pro perfectly as advertised.
My iPhone Wi-Fi found and connected with it immediately.
Later, Skyscan Pro app connected and aligned using it without any issues.
Later, I opened Skysafari without closing Skyscan Pro. In the Skysafari menu, I selected settings, and then TELESCOPE setup, and then SkyWatcher SynScanLink and clicked DONE. It connected immediately. No IP address or port is necessary. It was a pleasure watching the mount slewing to the object I selected on the Skysafari screen.
The only limitation is, it uses the socket of the hand controller on the mount and therefore you cannot use both together at the same time. You have to make a choice.
Being curious, I tried to plug out the wifi adapter and connect hand controller during the operation after completing initial alignment with wifi adapter, I entered all the required information in the hand controller and skipped alignment. I noticed that the slewing buttons were functional. I did not test it any more and switched it off.
I highly recommend this Wi-Fi adapter.
