Track The Stars 2021
TTS-160 Panther Wi-Fi solution
With the new internal Wi-Fi solution, it is easy to connect your Phone or Tablet to the mount. Using the app
SkySafari it is possible to search an object in the catalogs or point to an object on the maps and have the
mount slew to the object. The system works seamlessly with the mount handpad so both interfaces can be
used together. Using the map on the app makes observing great fun and leads the way to many new
objects.
No extra cables
–
the Wi-Fi system is powered though the normal power connection to the mount, so no
extra cables are needed.
Availability of the Wi-Fi solution
From January 2021 Wi-Fi will be standard on all Panther Mounts.
The solution can be installed as an upgrade to earlier versions of the Mount. The user can perform the
installation. Contact us for details.
