Skywatcher StarGate-400P SynScan 16" GoTo WiFi/WLan FlexTube Dobson Telescope

406mm (16”) f/4.1 Computer-Controlled, Collapsible GoTo Dobsonian Telescope with Parabolic Mirror

Sky-Watcher Stargate Dobsonian telescopes, with their high light-gathering power and the ultimate wow factor for visual astronomy enthusiasts, offer exceptional performance for both planetary and deep-sky observation. The new Stargate-400P SynScan is the first model in the series with an elegant and robust telescopic metal Flex Tube Truss design, which allows for quick assembly and disassembly, simplifying transport and storage. The entire telescope can be assembled and ready for observation in less than 30 minutes. The mount allows for motorized altitude and azimuth control and can automatically slew to any of the over 42,900 objects in the night sky from the extensive database of the SynScan hand controller.

Alternatively, the telescope can also be wirelessly controlled with your smart device via the built-in Wi-Fi using the free SynScan app for iOS and Android. Android control is supported. However, with the help of Freedom-Find™ Dual-Encoder technology, you can also move the telescope manually in both axes without losing alignment or position information, thus benefiting from exceptional convenience and flexibility during your observing sessions. Simply move the telescope close to the desired object and let the computer do the rest.

With the telescope switched off and the couplings released, it is possible to use the telescope fully manually as a Dobsonian telescope.
