With the Geoptik Push-To-Kit, owners of Dobsonian telescopes can equip their telescope with a precise positioning system. Both Android and iOS can be used. Bluetooth is recommended for Android, WiFi for iOS.

The system itself is very simple:

The electronics box attaches either to the front of the telescope or to the back of the primary mirror cell area. We recommend Velcro strips, which are available in many stores, but we also offer a holder for the finder shoe (in the accessory recommendations).

The electronics box contains sensors to perform the orientation measurement. This is exactly like an encoder, but much more flexible, because Dobsonian telescopes use different systems for altitude adjustment and also the azimuth area offers differently well mounting possibilities.

You can see where your telescope is pointing in your Sky Safari App. Perform a 2 star alignment and you are ready to locate every desired object you can find in Sky Safari. Move to any object you desire!

A few notes about the practice

The push-to system generates a WiFi network or a Bluetooth connection. For Android users, we recommend Bluetooth, due to its better and faster respond in showing where the telescope is pointing in Sky Safari. For iOS users, the Bluetooth option is not supported, you can connect by WiFi, please only keep on mind the refresh speed of the cursor on the screen is lower than Bluetooth, so take care on how much fast you are moving the telescope.

No other software instead of Sky Safari can be used, because the push-to system contains a special protocol to connect and communicate exclusively with Sky Safari. Please note that the right version of Sky Safari is the one that contains Telescope Control option, so the free version cant be used with the push-to system.
