Sky-Watcher AZ-GTiX Dual Saddle Alt-Azimuth astronomical assembly

The highly portable Sky-Watcher AZ-GTiX Dual Saddle Alt-Azimuth astronomical mount with integrated Wi-Fi can support two telescopes simultaneously and is controlled wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet using the free SynScan app for iOS or Android.

AZ-GTiX creates its own Wi-Fi network so it can be used anywhere without the need to use other Wi-Fi networks.

Sky-Watcher AZ-GTiX assembly has Sky-Watcher's patented "Freedom-Find" double encoder technology, so it can be moved manually in any axis without losing the orientation of the assembly in the sky. This provides freedom, comfort and flexibility during observation sessions. You can observe using the Go-To system and then try to test your knowledge of the sky by moving the telescope manually to a known object and the mount will still know its position.

The assembly is quiet in operation and has a load capacity of up to 6 kg (using one saddle) or 10 kg (using both saddles).

Supports telescopes with standard Vixen rails.
