Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi Wi-Fi Go-To Alt-Azimuth Mount Head — 20315

The Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi is a compact, lightweight and fully computerised Wi-Fi Go-To mount designed for portable astronomy. Weighing just 1.3kg and now available as a mount head only, it attaches easily to most photo or astronomy tripods using its standard 3/8" tripod bush — making it an ideal grab-and-go solution for visual observing and lightweight imaging.

Despite its size, the AZ-GTi delivers powerful Go-To performance, smooth tracking and exceptional convenience — perfect for beginner and travelling astronomers alike.

Wireless control with SynScan App

With a built-in Wi-Fi module, the AZ-GTi creates its own secure network, so you don’t need internet access or an external router. Simply connect your smartphone or tablet, open the free SynScan App (iOS or Android), enter your location and complete a quick alignment.

From there, you can explore the night sky using the intuitive touchscreen controls.

• Access 10,000+ celestial objects

• Automatic slewing and tracking

• Guided tours and object identification

• Brightest Star and North-Level alignment modes

You can also control the mount using compatible 3rd-party planetarium software for even more flexibility.

Freedom-Find™ dual-encoder technology

The AZ-GTi incorporates Sky-Watcher’s patented Freedom-Find™ dual encoders, allowing you to manually move the telescope without losing alignment. You can pan around the sky by hand, then let the mount resume accurate Go-To tracking — offering complete freedom during observing sessions.

Smooth, quiet and precise

With quiet DC servo motors, multiple slewing speeds and dual-axis tracking, the AZ-GTi delivers smooth motion and excellent pointing accuracy. It’s ideal for lunar and planetary viewing, star hopping with assistance, and lightweight astro setups.

Portable power and easy mounting

The AZ-GTi accepts telescopes up to 5kg using the standard 45mm Sky-Watcher / Vixen-style dovetail saddle. Power it with 8 × AA batteries or an external 12V supply — perfect for field use, camping trips and dark-sky visits.
