Hello - I currently own a Meade LX600 10". I would like to know if I can use SKYFI III with the LX600 and an Ipad (8th edition). Will it operate autostar suite?

Thanks

Bob

  Bob,

  SkyFi 3 is made for use with SkySafari and Starry Night.  We do not officially support AutoStar Suite.

  Hello Keiron - thank you for the prompt reply. I have the free version of SkySafari and use it often. Will SkySafari have the full functionality if I get the full version?

  Regards

  Bob

  Hello Keiron - I found the reading material, very informative. One last question. Does my iPad need to have cellular service in order for Skysafari to properly control my telescope? Thanks and have a great day.

  Bob, 

  No cell or data is required to connect and control you scope.

  SkyFi 3 creates its own WiFI network.

  Thanks!
