FAQs

What can I see with this telescope?

You can observe the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and brighter galaxies. The views depend on the observing conditions and the object's brightness.

How do I control the telescope?

Use the SynScan app on your smartphone or tablet to control the telescope wirelessly.

What is the best way to clean the lenses?

Use a lens cleaning kit specifically designed for telescopes, following the instructions carefully.

What power supply does the telescope require?

The AZ Go-2 mount requires a 12V DC power supply. This is not included.

What is the warranty period?

Please consult the product documentation or retailer for warranty information.

Can I use this telescope for astrophotography?

While the telescope can be used for basic astrophotography, the altazimuth mount is not ideal for long-exposure imaging. A more advanced equatorial mount is recommended for serious astrophotography.

How do I collimate the telescope?

Collimation (aligning the mirrors) is important for image quality. The telescope has a parabolic mirror, which enhances image quality. Consult the manual or seek guidance from experienced astronomers on how to collimate.

Troubleshooting

Check the power connection and ensure the power supply is working correctly.

Wi-Fi connection issues.

Ensure your device is connected to the telescope's Wi-Fi network. Check for interference from other devices.

Telescope not slewing correctly.

Verify the alignment procedure has been completed accurately.

Images are blurry.

Check the focus and ensure the lens is clean. Allow the telescope to cool down to ambient temperature.
