You connect your phone to the built-in WiFi, open the SynScan app, and tap an object: the mount quietly and precisely rotates to it and keeps it in view. The database contains 10,000 objects, with alignment on two stars or the brightest star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ-Montering-Star-Discovery-SynScan-WiFi-GoTo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Star Discovery SynScan WiFi GoTo mount on steel tripod with visible WiFi symbol.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-AZ-Montering-Star-Discovery-SynScan-WiFi-GoTo-3.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher AZ Star Discovery azimuthal GoTo mount side view on tripod with accessory platform.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Freedom-Find dual encoders, you can also manually turn the telescope without the GoTo system losing its way. This feels natural and saves time when switching between objects. The steel tripod stably supports the mount; the complete setup weighs 6.5 kg and can carry optics up to 5 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Star Discovery Mount with built-in WiFi and Freedom Find<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Vixen-style dovetail clamp<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Steel tripod with accessory holder<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An external 12V power supply keeps long sessions powered; batteries are not included.
