If you have a current Celestron computerised mount (see the Compatibility tab) but want to use it without the supplied handset then the SkyPortal WiFi module, could be just for you. Celestron’s SkyPortal WiFi Module works with Celestron’s planetarium app, SkyPortal, which is free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The WiFi module simply plugs into your telescope mount’s Hand Control or AUX port and then connect your tablet or smartphone to the SkyPortal module’s wireless signal. Using Celestron’s free SkyPortal iOS/Android planetarium and telescope control app then makes your mobile device a wireless hand controller for your telescope, guiding you through the alignment process and allowing you to select and slew to any celestial object with a simple tap.
