Figure 4 – SkyScan Pro App (Night mode).
After downloading the free SynScan Pro app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android),
you must join the SynScan Wi-Fi network on your phone or tablet by hitting "Connect" on the app's
opening screen. You're now ready to control your GoTo telescope with your mobile device.
The mount must be aligned to use its the GoTo capabilities. Open the Alignment Menu and choose
Brightest star alignment and follow the prompts. The slew buttons must be used to centre the
alignment star or stars in the telescope field of view. Always use the low power 25 mm eyepiece to
perform star alignment. After choosing a target after the GoTo movement the mount will start
tracking. The GoTo accuracy is dependent on the pointing model (it is preferable to use more than
two alignment stars).
Point & Track is an alternative way to track an object, without the need to perform star alignment.
This feature is very useful for tracking the Sun (using a full aperture solar filter), Moon and planets.
You can choose different tracking speed, Solar, Lunar and Sidereal.
To perform Point & Track the mount must be level (use the bubble level), choose the object to track
and select Point & then Track. The mount will keep the object centred in the field of view.
