Celestron 93973 Skyportal Wifi Module, Black

Having the ability to connect to the Scope Mount with Mobile or PC Software, is a real eye opener. Why I didn't get one earlier I am unsure, but I am now regretting all those frustrating nights playing around with the handset. PTN: the handset is OK but a little clunky for me, and you can fully control and track with the handset, it's just that the WiFi connect is way, way easier..

Been using this for a couple of years now. It's easier to set up now an use with the celestron cpwi software. I use this wifi adapter with an avx mount, starsence alignment camera , an phd2. I normally connect it to the home wifi an have used it with windows laptops as well as an android tablet. It can be used in adhoc mode as well but as I sit in the garage on a laptop it doesn't keep the signal as well as connecting to the home wifi. I like the wifi dongle but I do feel it is a little overpriced compared to a wifi dongle for a PC.

As the saying goes, a millionaire is a billionaire who got into astronomy! This device is very simple to use and connects via the AUX port and replaces my handset for linking the mount to the computer. Very expensive for what it is but it works far better than the in-built wi-fi on the mount. I have disabled the wi-fi on the mount and now simply use the dongle. So far every time I turn on the mount, the wi-fi for the dongle is found and connected to on the laptop and aligning and slewing using CPWI requires fewer cables now so the whole rig looks far tidier. So far this has been worth the money.

Don't forget to turn off any VPN or ot won't connect.. at lesser mk e well

Well worth buying, makes using telescope more intuitive and fun to use.

Somewhat expensive for what it is and it feels a bit flimsy but it works well.

Instant success with Sky Safari 6 Pro on my Android tablet. It arrived yesterday, and I've used it once (today). A neat device. Essential ? not all all. Is it fun ? Absolutely, yes. Value for money ? errr.. no; let's not talk about that aspect: It's a horribly expensive little piece of kit... way overpriced. I would suggest a cost of 25% would be a fair asking price. This is why I am rating it 3 stars only. Anyway, if you want a cool gadget go for it.. but you can get a decent eyepiece for the money, a barlow, or a solar filter.. unless of course you have all that. One of the advantages of using Sky Safari 6 pro is that you can look up objects that are not in the handset database (because it only has a limited amount of star catalogue names included). Sky Safari has a much larger database. If you want mainly Messier objects, then stick to the handset... it's less to worry about.

A very useful upgrade for your Celestron telescope.
