Celestron SkyPortal Link WiFi Module
The SkyPortal Link WLAN module enables wireless control of almost any Celestron GOTO telescope with the optionally available iPhone/iPad app "SkyPortal" or via a Windows PC with the optionally available NexRemote software and the freely available SkyQ Link PC. In this app (a complete planetarium program), you can simply tap an observation target on the star chart or in a list, and the telescope will automatically move to it. Alternatively, the telescope can be operated via SkyPortal without a hand controller, even alignment is possible via SkyPortal!

Even more possibilities with SkyPortal
With the Celestron SkyPortal software you can also address your SkyPortal adapter. SkyPortal is a full-fledged planetarium program: hold your SmartPhone in the sky and you will see on the map which objects you have set; or search for an object and you will be guided there.

After SkyPortal has connected to your telescope via the WiFi module and the telescope has been polar aligned, you can also control it conveniently via your SmartPhone.

The software is based on SkySafari and is available free of charge for iOS (in the App Store) and Android (in the Play Store). Also the versions of SkySafari 4.x with telescope control now support the SkyPortal adapter.

Control via PC (MS Windows)
With the optional NexRemote software, SkyPortal can also be controlled via PC, you will need software from here: SkyQ Link PC Installer.

Planetarium surface - tap any object on the SkyPortal app´s star chart and your telescope will automatically move to it

Question:
Can SkyPortal and StarSense be used together, i.e. can the combination of SkyPortal & App &iPad be used also as an input device to perform alignment with the StarSense camera to a NexStar SE6 without a hand controller?

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
Yes, it works, and really well, but maybe the firmware of the telescope and StarSense has to be updated.

Under the following link you can find a video how to run the setup: How to Set Up StarSense AutoAlign
