SynLink Astroimaging Controller: Simplify Your Setup!
The Sky-Watcher SynLink Universal Astroimaging Controller brings your imaging setup together in one compact, easy-to-manage hub. It combines equipment control, power distribution, USB connectivity, Wi-Fi, and imaging automation while supporting a wide range of popular astronomy gear. From polar alignment and guiding to autofocus and sequencing, SynLink helps simplify your entire night under the stars from one convenient app!
Watch a Quick Overview of the SynLink
Check out our overview of the SynLink! In this video, we take a closer look at the Sky-Watcher SynLink Universal Astroimaging Controller, an all-in-one hub designed to simplify your astrophotography setup.
Replace the Clutter
The SynLink Universal Astroimaging Controller replaces the stack of hardware that usually sits between your telescope and your images — the mini PC, the hub, the tangle of USB and power cables — with one box that mounts directly to the rig. Everything runs from the free SynLink app on Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac. Telescope not included with SynLink
From Setup to Shutdown
SynLink keeps your entire imaging session moving from start to finish. Handle polar alignment, autofocus, guiding, GoTo, and target selection, then build your sequence and let SynLink take over. Choose simple or advanced sequencing with tools like dithering, cloud recovery, and meridian flips, plus automatic parking and shutdown when the night is done.
App Requirments:
- iOS / iPadOS: 12.0 or higher
- Android: 7.0 or higher
- macOS: 12.4 or higher
- Windows: Windows 7 or higher
Compatible with Your Favorite Gear
The part that matters most: SynLink isn’t locked to Sky-Watcher equipment, so you can use the gear you already own! Most devices are recognized automatically when you connect them. SynLink app downloads for iOS and Android.
