Description

Use the SynScan app to control Sky-Watcher telescope mounts via Wi-Fi, USB or Bluetooth LE. Mounts without built-in Wi-Fi can be supported via a SynScan Wi-Fi adapter.

This version of the SynScan app is suited for novice users using alt-azimuth mounts.

Features
- Control telescope mount to slew, align, GOTO and track.
- Point And Track: track celestial objects (including the Sun and planets) without aligning.
- Support gamepad navigation.
- Browse a catalog of stars, comets, and deep sky objects. Or, save your own objects.
- Provide access to mount for use by third-party apps, including ASCOM clients, SkySafari, Luminos, Stellarium Mobile Plus, Stellarium Desktop or customer-developed apps.
- Support access to the mount and the SynScan app from any platform that supports TCP/UDP connections.
- Provide emulator mount for testing and practicing.
- Track fast-moving earth satellites by working with the PreviSat app on Windows PC or the Lumios app on iOS devices.
- SynMatrix AutoAlign: use the smartphone camera to align the telescope automatically.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

1 ★This app crashes every other time I try to run the skywatcher az goto mount.
1 ★App does not connect to mount on Android 14
2 ★Latest version gives "Negative Response" error with WiFi module and Acuter Merlin mount. Had to roll back to a previous version.
1 ★Keeps updating and stops my mount connecting to my phone, is there a way to prevent it.
5 ★Fantastic, synced flawlessly with my 150explorer, easy to navigate and has some great features. Only snag so far is that it won't look for M51, which is a real shame.
5 ★It works
1 ★Reduced to one star as the latest version (November 2023) seems to be broken. The night view turns off while the mount is slewing to GOTO, so we get a blast of white screen. Also, I can't enter catalog numbers to specify Deep Sky Objects, the pop-up number keypad doesn't work. Don't know what else doesn't work, as it's not worth trying.
3 ★OK I find it a little difficult to use.
1 ★Shamefully bad app. The UI is unintuitive and falls so far short of what a smartphone can do. Sep 23 Version on the store is v2.3.7, which is behind the latest. If you don't mind the filthy habit of side-loading then you can find v2.4.5 on skywatcher's web site but it's not much better.
1 ★I can't get it to connect to my android phone, Samsung galaxy s20 fe. It will connect to my ipad but not the item I need outside, my phone.
