The app turns your smartphone or tablet into a controller for the equatorial mount in no time. The response delay of the mount, which is considered the biggest disadvantage of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired ones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduced power consumption compared to conventional controllers with LCD monitor \u003cbr\u003eThe power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, allowing longer observations than with conventional wired controllers such as the Star Book Ten. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation similar to the Star Book Ten controller:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Star Book Wireless app has a similar structure to the Star Book Ten controller. Tap on a celestial object in the object list and start the GoTo. The mount will now automatically move to this target and bring it into the telescope's field of view. All the popular features of the Star Book Ten are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvenient operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen looking through the telescope operate the mount by swiping on the app's star map. Since there are no buttons, simply slide your finger over the star chart for convenient operation of the mount. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtensive astronomical data included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis includes data on easily observable celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects as well as the Sun, Moon, planets, comets and dwarf planets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-precision alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy aligning to one or two stars, you already get a fairly accurate positioning of the mount. By aligning to three or more stars, you can achieve high-precision alignment of the mount for high magnifications. The objects will then be approached precisely and centrally in your telescope's field of view. The alignment information is stored and can be retained even when the telescope is switched off. By leaving the telescope in its current state without moving it after completing an observation, the next time you observe you can start the automatic setup with the same settings for the next observation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual setting options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with the Star Book Ten controller, the app offers various individual settings, such as gear backlash compensation, night mode in red, autoguider and variable GoTo speed and LED brightness. You can also set the timing of the lens tube inversion (meridian flip) as desired. Even if the object moves south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from inverting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant information: \u003c\/strong\u003eCannot be used on old SX mounts with the old blue Star Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiFi Module Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used on: SX2, SXD2, SXD2-PFL, SXP, SXP-PFL, SXP2, AXJ (without encoder), AXD, AX \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with old SX mounts with blue Star Book \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPU: 32bit CISC processor 120MH \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: D-SUB 9-PIN socket \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutoguider connector: 6-pin modular connector for SBIG \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation: Android 6, iOS 9.0 or higher \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWifi standard: IEEE802.11b\/g \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData encryption: WPA2-APK \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirmware update: via WiFi connection \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating voltage: DC12V 0,1A (max) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: via mount \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 56 x 36 x 19.5mm, weight: 60g \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with ASCOM Driver - Download \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vixen.co.jp\/update\/sbwl_ascom\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Vixen WL ASCOM Driver\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003elatest driver here \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVixen Wifi adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Vixen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49341121528143,"sku":"X025029","price":309.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/VixenWirelessStarBookModule.jpg?v=1721472940","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-pt\/products\/vixen-wifi-adapter-module","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
