Celestron - SkySync Telescope GPS Accessory – Automatically Updates your Telescope with 16-channel GPS Data, Time, and Date - Save Time & Improve the Accuracy of your Telescope Alignment, Black (93969) Computerized telescopes rely on time, date, and location information to create an internal model of the night sky. Your telescope’s pointing and tracking ability is only as good as the information the telescope receives. For the best alignment possible, we created the SkySync GPS Accessory, which provides real-time 16-channel GPS data from orbiting satellites to your hand control. Using this handy device couldn’t be simpler. Just plug it into the hand control itself or any available AUX port on your mount. Instead of going through the time-consuming process of manually entering time, date, and location information, SkySync supplies it automatically. In addition to the improved accuracy, you’ll appreciate the time savings each and every time you align your telescope. SkySync blends in seamlessly with your existing telescope setup. A Velcro strap secures it to the tripod leg, where it is safely out of the way. The device is powered by the mount itself, so there’s no need for an extra battery. And since it relies on Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, you can count on it to work in even the most remote dark sky observing sites. Every serious visual observer or astroimager looking to upgrade his or her telescope setup will enjoy the convenience and user-friendly design of SkySync. Compatibility Information SkySync GPS Accessory is compatible with all non-GS Celestron computerized mounts. Celestron – NexYZ – 3–Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35 mm to 60 mm in diameter including telescopes with 1.25” and 2” eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. NexYZ will also attach to microscopes with the addition of the included adapter ring, which takes the usable diameter down to 25 mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece. A strong spring and a threaded twist lock provide a two-level strong and secure grip on the optical instrument’s eyepiece so you can image with confidence. NexYZ also accommodates a huge range of smartphones. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. Even larger “phablets” like the iPhone 8 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexYZ’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action. Easy as X-Y-Z - What makes NexYZ different from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the entire field of view in your shot. And even though this adjustment is ultra-precise, it’s still quicker and easier than with other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, attach NexYZ to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs. If you switch phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, you will need only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X, Y, and Z axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece. NOTE: NexYZ fits telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. It will not fit riflescopes. NexYZ will work with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio style case, Celestron recommends removing it for optimal use. US and International Patents Pending. The phone clamp can open to 92mm in width. The bottom of the phone can be as much as 160mm from the center of the camera on the phone.

Product 2: NexYZ stands up to rigorous field use thanks to its robust, durable construction with a metal frame and polymer body. Product 2: Unlike other adapters, NexYZ features 3 directional knobs (X, Y, and Z axis) that perfectly align your phone’s camera with the eyepiece in seconds so you are ready to snap the perfect image; In addition, you can make tension adjustments to keep the phone firmly in place. Product 2: Works with a wide range of mobile phone models, including all the latest devices from Samsung, Google, and Apple. Product 2: NexYZ connects your smartphone to your telescope, spotting scope, binocular, monocular, and microscope so you can capture images and video through the eyepiece. Product 1: WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING TELESCOPE: Simply plug into your hand control or any available AUX port on your telescope mount. Work with all non-GPS Celestron computerized telescopes. Product 1: GREAT FOR ASTROIMAGING: SkySync will improve your alignment—a difference you can see in your astroimages. Product 1: SAVE TIME ALIGNING YOUR SCOPE: Instead of entering the approximate time, date, and location into your hand control manually, SkySync obtains this information from orbiting global positioning satellites, saving you time in the field. Product 1: ADD GPS FOR THE MOST ACCURATE ALIGNMENT: Upgrade your Celestron computerized telescope with ultra-precise 16-channel GPS time, date, and location data.
