Orion 25701 StarSeek Telescope Control Cable-to-IntelliScope Kit
With this affordable Orion StarSeek Telescope Control Cable-to-IntelliScope Kit, you can use an iPhone or iPad running one of Orion's interactive StarSeek Virtual Universe star chart apps as a telescope hand controller for your Orion IntelliScope Dobsonian reflector. Using the Orion StarSeek app to point your IntelliScope will make each stargazing experience more interactive, educational, and entertaining, thanks to StarSeek's thoroughly detailed map of the night sky. To use the StarSeek app to guide your IntelliScope to a particular celestial object, just hold your iPhone or iPad up to the night sky and tap on the desired object right on the device's display screen. Next, simply move the telescope manually so the displayed telescope cursor moves toward and eventually overlaps the selected object. Once you've superimposed the telescope cursor on the object, it will be visible in the telescope eyepiece. Cool! What's more, you can use the interactive StarSeek app to explore more information about the object, and maybe even see a NASA or Hubble Space Telescope image of it. This handy kit works with all Orion SkyQuest XTi and XXi IntelliScope Dobsonians, and our compact StarBlast 6i IntelliScope Reflector. You'll also need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 4 or later, and with version 3.0 or later of any Orion StarSeek app installed (Std, Pro, or Max).
