wookie1965 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 At the moment I have a android phone and use synscanlnit 2 I am getting a new iPhone I know this is not available on ios but is there any other apps with the same information or close to all the information. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggy 67 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I don’t know anything about Synscannit as I use an iPhone and I don’t know what information you need but if it’s polar alignment the Polar Scope align Pro is excellent. If you need mount control then SkySafari is compatible with Skywatcher mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I have a SynScan WiFi dongle which I believe you can stick into any SW Alt-Az mount: I use it on my AZ-EQ6. I then use the SynScan Pro App to control it, from my iPhone. It all works much better than just the handset alone. I can even use SkySafari at the same time to control the mount if I wish.

wookie1965 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RapidoDroid.synscaninit2&hl=en_GB&gl=US This is the app, I used to use the wifi dongle with Sysncan pro and Sky Safari for some reason it does not work now. If you look at the first picture you can see the list of things your handset asks for the co ordinates are already in, the date, time, elevation, polar hour and polar scope need to correspond. Then you use the reticle to position the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
