Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi WiFi Dobsonian Mount (SW-3203) is a compact alt-azimuth Go-To mount that automatically slews the telescope to the selected object and keeps it centered in the field of view. With its built-in WLAN module, the mount can be fully controlled using a smartphone or tablet without requiring an internet connection. The free SynScan app for iOS and Android provides complete wireless operation and configuration.

The Virtuoso GTi can be powered either by eight 1.5 V AA batteries or a 12 V DC power supply, offering excellent mobility. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for small balconies, and it pairs perfectly with portable telescopes such as 127-mm Maksutov-Cassegrains or 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrains.
