Thanks to its motorized mount, which can be controlled via smartphone, this telescope makes it easy to explore the sky, without the need for advanced technical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to offer an intuitive experience, this model combines a bright achromatic optical tube with an intelligent alt-azimuth mount featuring an integrated WiFi module. It's an excellent choice for observing deep sky and bright solar system objects.<\/p>\n<h3>WiFi control and integrated GoTo technology<\/h3>\n<p>The frame <strong>AZ-GTe<\/strong> is fully wirelessly controllable via the free <strong>SynScan<\/strong>, available on iOS and Android. Once connected, the mount creates its own WiFi network, allowing you to use it anywhere without an Internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>After a simple alignment procedure, you can access a database of more than <strong>10,000 celestial objects<\/strong>. The GoTo function then automatically points the telescope at the chosen object, be it a planet, nebula or star cluster.<\/p>\n<p>This automation makes observation accessible and enjoyable, even for novice users.<\/p>\n<h3>A bright refractor ideal for large fields<\/h3>\n<p>The optical tube <strong>Startravel 102<\/strong> is an achromatic refractor with two air-separated lenses.
