    Sky-Watcher Red LED Flashlight with Variable Dimming
    Sky-Watcher Red LED Flashlight with Variable Dimming Sky-Watcher Red LED Flashlight with Variable Dimming The Sky-Watcher red LED flashlight features 2 LED diodes with continuously variable brightness control, essential for preserving your night-adapted vision during astronomical observation. Red light doesn't trigger the same pupil constriction as white light, allowing your eyes to maintain their dark adaptation - critical for observing faint deep-sky objects. The smooth dimming control lets you adjust brightness precisely for different tasks: brighter for reading star charts or adjusting equipment, dimmer for simply moving around your observing site. Powered by a 9V battery (included), this compact flashlight is an indispensable accessory for any astronomer's...

Sky-Watcher SynScan Wi-Fi adapter

Want to keep your hands free while observing the night sky and still have full control of your telescope - directly from your phone or tablet? The Sky-Watcher SynScan Wi-Fi adapter is exactly what you are looking for. This compact module delivers wireless connectivity between your Sky-Watcher mount and the mobile world, with no compromise on accuracy or ease of use.

Wireless control for your Sky-Watcher SynScan mount

The Sky-Watcher SynScan Wi-Fi adapter is designed for Sky-Watcher mounts and telescopes equipped with the SynScan Go-To system, whether in equatorial or altazimuth configuration. Once connected, you gain full control via the SynScan or SynScan Pro apps, available free of charge for both iOS and Android.

The adapter is also compatible with the popular mobile planetarium SkySafari, which displays the entire sky on your device screen and allows you to point the telescope directly at any selected object. The package includes two cables to ensure compatibility with a wide range of Sky-Watcher SynScan devices - so you do not need to worry about whether your specific model is supported.

Quick and straightforward setup

Getting started is simple and manageable for any smartphone user. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Wi-Fi settings on your device, search for available networks and select the adapter's network.
  2. Connect manually and enable automatic connection for future use.
  3. Wait for the connection confirmation notification and confirm it.
  4. Launch the SynScan Pro app, go to Connect Settings / Network / Resend Tries and set the value to 4, or up to 10 in less stable environments.
  5. Tap the Connect button - your telescope is now ready to operate.

Important notice regarding the included cables

The included cables are intended exclusively for Sky-Watcher SynScan devices. Never connect them to any other equipment - incorrect use could cause irreversible damage to the electronics and will void the warranty. Always identify the connectors carefully before making any connection.

Why use the SynScan Wi-Fi adapter?

Controlling your telescope without a physical handset brings real comfort to nighttime observing sessions. Your phone serves as both a planetarium and a remote control at the same time. There is no need to handle cables, search for a lost adapter in the grass, or risk accidentally nudging the mount when reaching for the controller.

For technically minded users, it is worth noting that communication runs over standard Wi-Fi protocol, so latency is minimal and Go-To system response remains smooth. The adapter requires no complex configuration on the mount side - all settings are handled entirely within the app.
