The Explore Scientific Sidara Pro is a motorized GoTo telescope mount with the SkyAssist smart-navigation system, sold here as the mount only so you can pair it with your own optical tube. A GoTo mount does the hardest part of astronomy for you: choose an object in the SkyAssist app and the mount's motors automatically slew the telescope to it and track it as the sky turns.

After a quick guided alignment, SkyAssist connects through your phone or tablet and gives you an extensive object catalogue to explore — so you spend your time observing rather than hunting for targets.

Who it's for: Beginners and casual observers who want to add automatic object-finding and tracking to a small telescope tube. Want to understand automated mounts first? Read our guide to GoTo vs manual telescopes.

  • Motorized GoTo: automatically slews to and tracks objects you select in the app.
  • SkyAssist smart navigation: guided alignment and an extensive object catalogue.
  • App control: operate the mount from your phone or tablet — no hand controller to fumble with.
  • Automatic tracking: keeps objects centred so they don't drift out of the eyepiece.
  • Mount only: pair it with a compatible optical tube of your choice.

How do I set it up?
Level the mount, run a quick guided alignment in the SkyAssist app, and it's ready to find and track objects.

Is it good for beginners?
Yes — app-guided GoTo removes the hardest part of astronomy, making it easy to locate and follow objects.
