Fed up with searching for deep-sky objects? Now you can find every object that the sky has to offer. Without even looking.
You have almost certainly been in this situation before: you are looking for a faint galaxy that has always fascinated you. But it presents a challenge because there are hardly any stars with which you can orient yourself. From now on, you do not need to find every object yourself using your Dobsonian telescope. Make it easy for yourself: the Push+ Go kit transforms your Dobsonian telescope into an effective object-finding machine. Your telescope remains nonetheless a manually-controlled instrument, but with wonderful technical support.
The advantages at a glance:
- Object finder retrofit kit with push-to technology for Omegon Advanced X, GSO Classic and ICS Galaxy Dobson telescopes
- Two precise digital encoders: to ensure that your telescope knows exactly where it is in the sky. With your software or app you now follow every movement and every step in the sky
- No cable chaos: using Bluetooth 2.0 a wireless and convenient connection is made to your smartphone, within a range of 10 metres
- Delivered with an ultra-compact power bank so you no longer have to worry about having enough power
- Simple installation: in just 10-15 minutes
- Smartphone holder included: for smartphones up to 75 mm wide
Simply retrofit and get going to the stars
It's easy: retrofit your Dobsonian telescope and transform it into a unique object-finding system with this stand-alone Push+ Go kit. All the components you need to get going are already included. The kit is installed in a few simple steps, in just 10-15 minutes.
Digital Encoder - a 'satnav' for your telescope
Know where you are - the digital encoders on the azimuth and elevation axes tell you just where you are in the night sky at all times. This technology, which is used on large equatorial mounts, is now also employed with this Dobson telescope. But all this would be nothing without a good controller - and this you already have!
Smartphone - your way to the stars
Your Android smartphone now allows you to keep track of everything yourself - the Sky Safari® 4 Plus astronomy app for Android systems turns your phone into a control centre for your telescope. The coloured display on your smartphone shows the current region of the night sky and allows you to select an object you wish to observe. You can then move the telescope to the target in a jiffy - as you move the telescope in the direction required, you will see a crosshair moving across the star chart.
With the right app it's easy
You can purchase the SkySafari® Plus app at Google Play. Push+ will not work with Apple iPhones or iPads (iOS operating system)
Power bank included
Do you already know how to power the Push+ Go? You don't need to worry about this because a power supply is already included.
The power bank is light, extremely compact and delivers energy for an entire night. And it is simply fixed to the rocker box using the appropriate holder. For you this means: simply plug in the cable and get started.
Do you want to find every faint object in your Dobsonian telescope? Then choose Push+ Go. Locating objects easily will become one of your simplest tasks.
