Frequently asked questions

How does the GoTo mount work?
The iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight mount connects wirelessly to the free ExploreStars app (or a computer via ASCOM) and automatically slews to and tracks objects you select.

Is solar viewing safe?
Yes — with the included white-light solar filter fitted over the front of the telescope. Never observe the Sun without a proper solar filter.

Do I need anything else?
A tablet or computer to run the GoTo, and a power source for the mount. Eyepieces let you change magnification.
