Equipped as standard with the SX2 WL and SXD2 WL equatorial mounts, this controller unit allows you to conveniently control your telescope wirelessly by attaching it to your equatorial mount. Enjoy comfortable celestial navigation with the dedicated "STAR BOOK Wireless" smartphone app. [Easy celestial navigation without cables] The "STAR BOOK Wireless" smartphone app transforms your smartphone or tablet into an equatorial mount controller. Enjoy not only telescope control but also celestial navigation and other functions without cables. [Stress-free, high-speed response] The delay in the equatorial mount's operational response, often considered the biggest drawback of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to that of a wired connection*, ensuring stress-free operation. *Operation delay depends on the wireless LAN connection environment. [Reduced power consumption] Compared to conventional LCD monitor controllers, the entire equatorial mount consumes up to 20% less power, allowing for worry-free use even during long periods of astronomical observation. [Interface Inheriting the DNA of STAR BOOK TEN] While viewing the star chart, simply tap on the celestial object you want to view and it will automatically be brought into the field of view and begin tracking. The display retains the popular STAR BOOK TEN controller, making it a familiar experience for existing STAR BOOK TEN users. [Comprehensive Astronomical Data] In addition to data on well-known, easily observable celestial objects (Messier objects, NGC objects, and IC objects), the app also includes data on the Sun, Moon, and planets (including dwarf planets). Each object supports tracking. [Swipe with One Finger! Easy Operation While Looking Through the Telescope] Operate the telescope by swiping across the app's star chart. Simply slide your finger across the buttonless star chart, allowing for comfortable operation even with a touchscreen. [High-Precision Alignment] Achieve even higher alignment accuracy by aligning three or more visible stars* during observation. The acquired alignment information is saved and retained even when the device is turned off. You can also erase any alignment data. By leaving the telescope in its current state after an observation, you can start automatic alignment from the same settings the next time. *Alignment is the process of matching the celestial coordinate position information stored in the app with the actual visible star position (apparent position). [User-friendly settings available] You can customize the display of celestial object types and names, ensuring visibility within the controller's limited screen. You can also set the timing of telescope tube rotation. This prevents tube rotation even when the target celestial object reaches its zenith during tracking photography. [External autoguider terminal included] An autoguider terminal compatible with SBIG autoguiders is included as standard. [Supports version updates via wireless LAN connection] Firmware can be updated via the app.

[Interface Inheriting STAR BOOK TEN DNA] While checking the star chart, simply tap the celestial object you want to view and it will automatically enter the field of view and begin tracking. The display follows the popular STAR BOOK TEN controller, making it a familiar experience for existing STAR BOOK TEN users.
[Comprehensive Astronomical Data] In addition to data on well-known, easily observable celestial objects (Messier objects, NGC objects, and IC objects), the equatorial mount also includes data on the Sun, Moon, and planets (including dwarf planets). Each object can be tracked individually.
[Swipe with One Finger! Easy operation while looking through the telescope: Operate the telescope by swiping on the star chart in the app. There are no buttons, so you can simply slide your finger across the star chart, making it easy to operate even with a touch screen while looking through the telescope.
