The Sky-Watcher BK102AZGTI is a refractor telescope with a robotic AZ-GTi mount and built-in Wi-Fi for wireless control via the SynScan app on iOS and Android. After entering the coordinates and aligning the telescope, GO-TO mode automatically points it at celestial objects from the app’s database, which includes more than 10,000 objects.
Freedom-Find Dual-Encoder technology allows manual movement on both axes without losing positional information. The fully multi-coated optical system with its long focal length is designed for observing double stars, bright planets, and lunar details. The mount tracks on two axes and supports sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking rates.
