Product description

The solution for wireless telescope control for use with SkySafari on Android devices!

Smaller than a business card, it easily attaches to RS232 serial ports via a DB9 male connector. The device is completely Plug & Play.
SkyBT runs off of two AAA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) and has a built-in recharging circuit. You can expect to get 8-10 hours of scope control out of a set of fresh batteries.
SkyBT is a Class 1 Bluetooth device with a typical range of around 100 meters, far more than cheaper bluetooth adapters.

SkyBt does NOT support USB only telescopes: Meade LS series, iOptron GOTONova 8401 and 8402 controllers, the Generation III ServoCAT, and the very latest Sidereal Technology USB controllers.
