Boasting a payload capacity of 11 pounds, this compact computerized GoTo AZ mount can support anything from a small telescope tube to a mid-sized DSLR for panoramic or timelapse photography. Weighing just 8.6 lbs., the AZ-GTi is the ideal travel mount, easily fitting in carry-on luggage and perfect for grab-and-go situations. The AZ-GTi generates its own WiFi signal, allowing users to control the telescope directly from their iOS or Android devices. Once connected to the mount, Sky-Watcher’s SynScan Pro app can be used for celestial, planetary, lunar and solar observing. For those interested in photographing panoramas or time-lapse video, connect the SynScan Pro app and start shooting. The AZ-GTi includes an adjustable aluminum tripod with built-in pier extension. However, the AZ-GTi can also attach to nearly any photographic tripod using a standard 3. 8 thread. No need for an intervelometer timer with the AZ-GTi! With a 60-second preset exposure setting, the AZ-GTi can trigger a DSLR using the optional shutter release cable. Once the camera is plugged into the mount and a shot is fired, it will continually shoot 60 second exposures until the cable is removed.

La montura es fácil de alinear y fácil de configurar. Una vez que localizas los objetos los sigue con precisión.El principal defecto: no trae instrucciones detalladas para llevar a cabo la alineación, pero la app es muy intuitiva. (No compré el control remoto).

I picked this up as a light go-to mount to track space objects, for nights when I don't want to drag out the other heavy equipment I have. Most times, I put it out with a small telescope on it, use the phone app, align to three stars, and tell it what object I want to look at for the night. With it being battery powered and on my wifi, I can go from wanting to look at planets or deep space objects to having it set up and able to find anything in less than five minutes.If you want to use it for EAA (electronically assisted astronomy), you can use it as is because the rotation doesn't matter with the shorter exposures and the live stacking adjusts well. If you want to use it for full on astrophotography, you can easily get a wedge and polar align it like the other mounts and it works just as well. Out of the box, the tracking is pretty accurate, but if you want it even tighter, it does work with PHD.The only downside at all is that it doesn't have much of a max load, but that's to be expected with a small go-to mount. I have been able to successfully track on a wedge, holding my mirrorless with a 135mm lens and the stars all come out round without any streaks. Another thing that isn't a big deal but needs to be noted: if you get the eq wedge for this, there isn't an easy way to mount a polar scope to it so getting it polar aligned is a little trickier than for other mounts.This is great for users who want a more accurate goto mount for visual astronomy than the ones that come with the cheaper telescopes or more experienced astronomy/astrophotography users who just want something lighter to travel with or need to set up quickly. Battery life is great, along with connections with phones/tablets and the wifi.

Very impressed with the tracking. At first you have to update the firmware so you can mount your scope on the right side. Once that’s done, I use the North level 2 star alignment and it works flawlessly. Connecting to wifi is sometimes a challenge but it always connects. Sometimes instantly, and other times it takes a few attempts. Could just be my phone.

For its size and weight, this mount does a very good job with my 127 Maksutov, which is at the upper end of its weight-bearing capacity. I find the tracking to be a big help visually. For photography, you would want to do a very careful alignment and keep exposures short, because I doubt it's smooth and accurate enough for serious work. You cannot leave the mount tracking for long periods and expect an object to stay centered, but it usually gets within 1° when finding targets. There are clicking noises in certain orientations that probably mean there's some internal slop in the gearing, but overall I don't find the noise from mine objectionable. High-speed slewing is naturally noisier than fine adjustment.The iOS application works, but has a few limitations. It insists on remembering the previous alignment, even when you are trying to set a new one, which sometimes requires the "reset alignment" utility function and quitting the app. I had to update the mount firmware immediately, in order to fix bugs, but also to mount my scope on the right side (it defaults to the left). Skywatcher support was helpful in finding the right version. I have not had disconnection problems since the update. I think a mobile app has some advantages over a hand controller when searching for objects by their common name, providing information, and for portability.You'll want a battery that can keep your phone or tablet display on continuously, because constantly unlocking your phone to make an adjustment or pick a new target gets annoying. (You may want to purchase a power bank and/or AC adapter in preference to the internal AA batteries, which can also recharge your phone/tablet.)Now that there's an equatorial mode in the app, it would be nice if there were a matching EQ wedge/base, but most people seem to use the Star Adventurer Latitude base. I've heard of people using this mount with a C6 tube, but I think that's overloading it. It's ideal for a 72–90mm short-tube refractor, or the 100 and 127mm Maksutovs. I think some very light 102mm refractors and the C5 will work, too. I'm curious about adding a counterweight shaft (which is needed for EQ mode) since it's not clear what the weight limits are with one attached. I will probably also add a camera adapter to try some wide-field astrophotography.Overall, it's easy to recommend this mount at it's normal price (below 400) so long as you are patient with the app and aren't expecting it to replace a german equatorial or massive fork mount. I think it hits a sweet spot for amateurs who want more than a toy while keeping their investment modest, and portable enough to take along without thinking twice.

Update the firmware, add Williams Optics wedge & and pair with an ASI Air Plus and you’ve got a near perfect Grab & Go. Enough power to add a prime lens with a DSLR (modified of course!) or a ZWO camera, a SvBody with a guide camera and you’ve joined the Astro Photog crowd. Great price and Amazon Prime delivery and support.

This is an excellent GoTo mount for smaller "grab-and-go" scopes. A joy to use and compact while study for scopes and accessories weighing up to 10 pounds. The "freedom find" dual-encoders are an excellent feature, allowing you to disengage the scope from the alt-az motors to move to any object in the sky while maintaining your GoTo alignment. One note to SkyWatcher is the Azimuth bearing is a bit too tight so recommend making it a bit looser for easier manual pointing of the scope in "freedom find" mode. The Wi-Fi works great linking to both SynScan and Sky Safari apps and is a real joy to use. A revolutionary mount that is compact, yet powerful and a real joy to use. Highly recommended for both the beginner to veteran armature astronomer, this mount is truly a winner providing loads of enjoyment and capabilities in a compact and well thought-out package.
