"If you're looking for a compact tabletop Go-To mount suitable for a small refractor or Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope weighing less than about 4kg, Sky-Watcher's SynScan hand controller offers the same 42,000+ object database and rich feature set of its larger siblings. Capable of running off internal AA batteries or external 12V power increases its versatility. "Ade Ashford BSc_{Ade Ashford has tested and reviewed astronomical equipment in a professional capacity for several publications, including Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Now & BBC Sky At Night Magazine.}
