All three components work together for an easy, intuitive, and highly portable observing and astroimaging experience.

 

NexStar 102SLT Computerized GoTo Telescope

The NexStar 102SLT is a favorite among both beginners and experienced observers. Its high quality 102mm refractor optical tube delivers bright, high-contrast views with no collimation required. The fully computerized SLT mount with SkyAlign gets you aligned in minutes, then automatically locates and tracks thousands of objects to keep them centered as Earth rotates. A lightweight build, quick-release components, and a stainless steel tripod make it easy to take anywhere, offering dazzling views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky targets.

 

NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Astroimaging

The NexYZ smartphone adapter makes it simple to capture what you see through the eyepiece. The three-axis adjustment system allows you to precisely position your phone’s camera over the eyepiece, eliminating guesswork and ensuring clean, evenly illuminated images. Compatible with most smartphones and 1.25" or 2" eyepieces, NexYZ securely clamps into place for steady, repeatable imaging sessions. With NexYZ, you’ll be capturing and sharing your discoveries every time you use your telescope.

 

SkyPortal WiFi Module

When you plug in the SkyPortal WiFi Module, you take control of your stargazing sessions in a whole new way—via your smartphone!  You can browse a massive database of 100,000+ celestial objects or explore an interactive planetarium view, all within the SkyPortal Powered by SkySafari™ app for iOS and Android. Once connected through the AUX or Hand Control port, the module creates its own secure WiFi network and pairs with the app. Explore the sky visually and tap any object you wish to view. The telescope slews there and begins tracking. Next, you can view detailed information or even listen to audio descriptions as you observe. Not sure what to look at next? Take a guided Sky Tour within the app! Astronomy has never been so user-friendly.
