Access the Universe with the SkyPortal Module: Celestron's updated SkyPortal Wi-Fi module turns your smartphone or tablet into a personal planetarium and observatory. Connect the Wi-Fi module to your telescope's handheld control or the AUX port and connect to your device's wireless signal. Your device now operates as a wireless controller for the telescope, guiding you through the alignment process and targeting celestial objects with a single tap. During targeting, you can listen to hundreds of audio descriptions of the most popular celestial objects, explaining their history, mythology, and key features. Activate the Sky Tour feature, and the SkyPortal will display a list of the top observation objects based on your exact time and location. The SkyPortal obtains this information directly from your device.
