It carries a 10 kg (22 lb) payload excluding counterweights, uses a 45mm Vixen-style dovetail saddle, and covers a full 0–90° latitude range via its dual-position counterweight bar. Built-in Wi-Fi SynScan control drives the mount from the free SynScan Pro app on iOS or Android, while an ST-4 autoguiding port, a SNAP camera trigger port and a USB-C connection cover the imaging essentials. The illuminated polar scope is built in, so polar alignment does not require an add-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the hand controller included, this is a complete, ready-to-mount GoTo platform — add a telescope and a 12V supply and you are aligned and tracking.
