    • A definite upgrade for my Celestron NexStar-4SE telescope
After finding out about this product in an Astronomy magazine ad, I decided to give it a try for my Celestron NexStar-4SE telescope (which I power with a Celestron external AC-to-DC power supply). I watched a couple of YouTube videos about this WiFi module and the SkyPortal App that works with it and was pleased with how I could control the NexStar-4SE telescope via the SkyPortal WiFi module that plugged into my telescope's Aux port and the App that I downloaded to my Android smartphone. At first I had difficulties getting the telescope aligned, but after I upgraded the red dot finderscope that came with my NexStar telescope to Celestron's StarPointer Pro finderscope, I found it easier to center bright stars in the telescope and achieve alignment. Note that the SkyPortal alignment process is different from the NexStar telescope's normal alignment process because SkyPortal requires aligning with three bright stars, not three bright objects (although using a bright object like the moon to manually align the finderscope with the view in the telescope eyepiece before doing the star alignment process helps, which one can do in Connect mode before running Connect and Align). After getting the NexStar telescope successfully aligned, the SkyPortal App that controls the telescope has some great features in the Search menu that enabled me to select celestial objects for the telescope to Go To from submenus including Tonight's Best, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and deep sky objects. These add-ons provided an enhanced celestial object observing experience (after your session, don't forget to turn off the finderscope red light switch so that you don't run out the battery). ... show more

    • Celestron WiFi Module
A must have for the Celestron telescope.
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2025 by Confessa
    • This is an important addition.
In today’s world the software industry wants to know the exact location of your mount. This is important for alignment, accuracy, and quality of astrophotography. The size is very small and fits on a leg of your tripod. For all it does the value for money is certainly worth it. But, some have said it doesn’t work at all, and mainly because it can’t get the information to the device. Network connection, signal strength, hand shaking, the whole WiFi thing is in question then. Your device has got to communicate with it. And with the world network if that is where your software is. Then you also need GPS, another module that plugs into your telescope and WiFi connection to get the coordinates of your telescope to the software. And it must be compatible and connected to your device and network and thereby the world network, to get the coordinates to the software. Now if you have the software on your device and you already know the coordinates of the mount, and you are feet from the mount, enter the information manually and control through a private network from your device to telescope and you may not even need WiFi. Plug directly into your telescope from the device or computer and operate the telescope via the software directly. Or no software and just a joystick and a guide scope. When you find a guide star in the field of view lock in the guide scope and view or Astro photograph. Remember, you were the software, not too long ago! Those slow motion controls on the RA and DEC? You adjusted them (the joystick) to keep the guide star on the cross hairs, with your eyeball glued to the guide scope! During the photography process. ... show more

    • Wow! This works amazingly well! (SkyQ with 2 year old IPad, the free SkyPortal App and a Celestron CPC1100 11" telescope)
Review Image by Scott H. Scott H.
Oh my goodness! This device with the free SkyPortal app from Celestron (by Sky Safari) makes nighttime astronomy with my CPC 1100 telescope an incredible amount of fun. The old hand controller doesn't begin to compare to how easy this is to use, continue to learn and navigate about the sky. Quickly learning about star names, features, constellations and finding all those allusive deep nebula and clusters. Detailed information about anything in the sky is just a couple touches away, including full narration about what your looking at. Neptune and Uranus were awesome to see and the alignment procedure of my telescope is now so easy. Not sure what your looking at? Just point the telescope and the SkyPortal app (through the skyQ) Shows you the star name, particular information and the constellation you looking at all right on the screen. The app also had night time viewing (dim red) to keep your night vision in tact. The guys at Celestron definitely hit a home run with this one! This works with any of the Celestron go-to telescopes. I had some issues at first. It seems I was experiencing a conflict between the original hand controller and the SkyQ/SkyPortal App). I did not see in the instructions were told me to not have my hand controller plugged in but they must conflict somehow. Once I unplugged the hand controller and restarted everything, the telescope quickly becomes aligned everything worked perfectly. Update 10 June 2016. I upgraded my telescope to an 11" Edge HD telescope on a CGEM DX mount and have lots more use to report on. In warmer weather I still regularly use and prefer the WIFI Skyportal. When it's really cold I use the hand controller as I can wear gloves when operating. I did also upgrade to SkySafari Pro 5 and really like the extra features including comets, asteroids and identifying various satellites including alerts when the ISS International Space Station as well as Iridium flares will occur overhead. Just a note for no matter what kind of mount you have- be sure to balance your scope to maintain dead on goto accuracy. Update-22Nov 16. I am now using an Ipad Pro with Sky Safari 5 and it continues to work great and totally love it! EVERYONE- DONT FORGET TO UNPLUG YOUR HAND CONTROLLER when using Skyportal as the two do not work well together! I did add a photo of the compatibility list below: ... show more
