AuxFi is a NEW wireless WiFi adapter for Celestron GoTo mounts
AuxFi connects to the AUX port on the mount and is designed to quickly aim the telescope using mobile devices and PCs.
Important: No external power or battery is required to turn on this WiFi adapter!
If your Celestron
telescope does not have an additional AUX port, than you need an AUX Port Splitter for Celestron, a compatible
6-pin splitter for splitting the hand controller connection port. The following
models are currently known to have no AUX port: LCM series and AS-GT (CG-5)
Advanced GT series.

How to start:

WiFi AuxFi adapter to the AUX port on the mount (before powering on the
telescope).
2. Turn on the
telescope.
3. Turn on Wi-Fi
mode on your mobile device and connect to an access point with SSID - "AuxFi".
When connected, the device asks for a password. The default password is
"12345678".
An example of
setting up and controlling a telescope using SkySafari software:
1.Download and
install SkySafari software. In the main menu go to "Settings".
2.Scroll down to
the "Telescope" section and click "Settings".
3.Select the type
of equipment used "Scope Type - Celestron WiFi" and the type of
mount, depending on your setting "Mount Type - Equatorial Goto
(German)" or "Alt-Az. Go to ". In the" Communication
settings "section, select the type of wireless connection -" Use
Direct Connect ".
4.Go back to the
main menu and click "Connect".
If done correctly,
you will hear a pleasant sound, and a crosshair with concentric circles will
appear on the screen, indicating the direction in which the telescope is
looking. On the sides there will be buttons that allow you to move the
telescope along the axes of the mount.
You can now point
the telescope at objects using the SkySafari Object Database. For more
information on how to use all the features of the SkySafari software, visit the
SkySafari official website.
AuxFi also works
with SkyPortal mobile app and CPWI app (Celestron PWI Telescope Control
Software) for PC.
If necessary, SSID
(username) and password can be changed to individual ones. To do this, open the
SkySafari or SkyPortal application, go to the "Communication
Settings" section and select the menu - "Configure Access
Point".
