Thanks to its <strong>AZ-GTi Go-To WiFi<\/strong> and its innovative technology <strong>Freedom-Find\u2122<\/strong>, It combines advanced automation with freedom of use. Lightweight, portable and easy to install, it's an excellent choice for beginners and amateur astronomers alike, who want a future-proof instrument.<\/p>\n<p>The AZ-GTi mount is equipped with a <strong>integrated WiFi module<\/strong> which creates its own network, allowing complete control via smartphone or tablet thanks to the free app <strong>SynScan<\/strong> (iOS and Android). No external connection is required: after entering your coordinates and performing a simple alignment, you can explore the sky via an intuitive, fluid interface.<\/p>\n<p>The Go-To system provides access to a database of <strong>more than 10,000 celestial objects<\/strong>, The new, easy-to-access catalogs include the Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogs, as well as named stars, double stars and solar system objects. Advanced features such as <strong>\u201cTonight's Best Tour\u201d<\/strong>, object identification and direct pointing enrich the user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Exclusive technology <strong>Freedom-Find\u2122 Dual-Encoder<\/strong> allows manual movement of the telescope on both axes <strong>without losing alignment<\/strong>. This unique feature offers exceptional flexibility, allowing you to switch freely between manual and automated tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Optically, the Explorer-130PS is a telescope of the <strong>Newton<\/strong> equipped with a primary mirror <strong>130 mm parabolic dish<\/strong>. With a focal length of <strong>650 mm<\/strong> and a focal ratio of <strong>f\/5<\/strong>, It offers an excellent balance between brightness and field of vision. It is perfectly suited to observing the <strong>Moon<\/strong>and <strong>planets<\/strong>, as well as deep-sky objects such as <strong>nebulae<\/strong>, <strong>galaxies<\/strong> and <strong>star cluster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The primary and secondary mirrors are treated <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>, offering up to <strong>94% reflectivity<\/strong>. This coating enhances image brightness and contrast while guaranteeing excellent durability. The telescope is supplied with two eyepieces of <strong>10 mm and 20 mm<\/strong>, offering magnifications of <strong>x65 and x32.5<\/strong>, with a maximum potential of <strong>x260<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>red dot viewfinder<\/strong>\u00a0facilitates initial pointing, particularly during alignment. Once this stage has been completed, the Go-To system takes over to automatically locate objects. Multiple travel speeds (up to <strong>800x<\/strong>) for fast, precise positioning.<\/p>\n<p>The AZ-GTi mount is compatible with the <strong>ASCOM<\/strong> for computer control, as well as planetarium applications such as <strong>SkySafari Plus\/Pro<\/strong>. It also features an optional SynScan snowshoe port and a DSLR trigger port for photography.<\/p>\n<p>The tripod in <strong>adjustable aluminum<\/strong> ensures excellent stability while remaining lightweight. Adjustable from <strong>80.5 cm to 152 cm<\/strong>, It can be adapted to any observation situation. The unit weighs just <strong>6.65 kg<\/strong>, which makes it easy to transport.<\/p>\n<p>Power can be supplied via <strong>8 AA batteries<\/strong> or an external source <strong>7.5 to 14V<\/strong>. For optimum autonomy, the use of a <strong>Power Tank Sky-Watcher 17Ah<\/strong> is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the telescope is supplied with a <strong>universal smartphone adapter<\/strong> (compatible with cameras from 54 to 90 mm wide), for easy capture of images of the Moon and bright objects.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky-Watcher Explorer-130PS AZ-GTi is a complete, powerful and versatile telescope, combining high-quality optics, Go-To automation and freedom of use.
