About this product
Model: C_StarSense_SW_94006
Part Number: 94006-CGL
The hugely popular StarSense accessory from Celestron is now available for Sky-Watcher mounts.
StarSense allows a computerised Sky-Watcher mount to automatically align itself with the night sky.
No need for a laptop. The StarSense is a standalone device, the clever processing and wizardry is onboard.
The StarSense camera and hand control both plug into the interface box which in turn plugs into the mount's hand control port - in minutes your mount is aligned and ready to use.
Compatible mounts: HEQ5, EQ6, EQ6-R, AZ-EQ5, AZ-EQ6, EQ8 and AZ SynScan compatible mounts.
Please note, this StarSense for Sky-Watcher will also control Celestron mounts (interface box not required).

FLO processed my order very quickly just after Christmas, and managed to have this in my hands in Australia only a few days later, in the middle of a pandemic. Excellent service. The unit itself is great, and has solved the problems I was having with alignment. It works very well, and will save me a lot of time and frustration.

Starsense and light pollution 02 March 2018 | Ian
We live in a pretty light polluted area, and I also use a discreet pulley and lightweight camping tarpaulin to block a streetlight from the garden, so I wasn't hopeful......
But it worked perfectly, first time, even with a slightly lazy polar alignment on an HEQ5.
I like it a lot
