Mission Statement:
We developed the Bluetooth adapter because the only wireless options were, Celestron’s SkyQ adpater ($99.00) which only supports Celestron/Orion TTL Aux port operation and Orion and Southern Stars SkiFi that most Android devices can only use in WiFi infastructure mode.
BlueLink offers direct wireless telescope mount control via a Bluetooth link (*not supported by Apple iPhone or iPad devices). BlueLink is supported on Windows and Mac computers with Bluetooth capabilities and all Andriod Smartphones and Tablets.
Customer feed back:
Tony I hope you and your family is doing well with what is going on. I just wanted to thank you again for everything you have done and just to let you know that the bluetooth works flawlessly. I use the goto on skysafari and it is amazing.
Hi Tony,
Blue link Arrived the other day, I just got some coffee and the time to focus on setup.
Ok – I agree w/you now, once paired and setup – This thing is slick!
Finally got Sky safari working as intended (i.e. scope control) wish I found this device months ago would have saved a ton of time and aggravation
struggling with SkyFi.
The Blue Link unit is very nice, so far just office tested, hope to get out under the stars soon and see how alignment actually works
between CG5 handset setup and any tweaks on Sky Safari (if needed).
But so far -very Cool!! J
If everything works as I suspect – it will be well worth the money!
Tony,
BLUELINK is Awesome!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I was successful in connecting my Celestron 11 CPC GPS to my new tablet via BLUELINK. The connection was extremely easy and much faster than I anticipated. I connected the BlueLink to my NexStar Hand Control through the RS-232 cable. I downloaded the new SkySafari 4 Pro software to my new hand held tablet. I then connected the BlueLink to my tablet via bluetooth and then connected the SkySafari software to my CPC. It works PERFECTLY!!!! I can now use the Tablet as the wireless Hand Control. Its exactly what I was looking for. Again, thank you for the advice on the BlueLink, Tablet and appropriate software. It will all make for a much more enjoyable, productive and efficient way to observe with my CPC 11. Not to mention, its just really cool to be searching around the planetarium software and click “Goto” to any interesting object.
Thanks again!
