I have a new Starseeker Goto mount with built-in wifi from Orion. It is compatible with SynScan App. Can I use Skysfari Plus in place of Synscan? Thanks------ Rajendra

  Hi Rajendra, 

  Please link me to the official Orion website product page for your telescope and I will let you know what your SkySafari telescope control options are.

  Thanks!

  Hi Rajendra, 

  This is your scope - with updated GoTo mount that has built-in wifi (using Synscan app for Android and iOS) and the serial interface is replaced with USB:

  SkySafari 6 does not support SynScan WiFi natively.

  Please review the discussions in the SkyWatcher community forum, regarding the SkyWatcher WiFi module (which is the same as yours), and how it has been made to work.

  SkySafari does not natively support this configuration.  Until such time, any setup instructions, and troubleshooting, must be addressed through SkyWatcher/Orion support.

  Thanks!
