Connection & Modes explained
Telescope Bridge demonstration video
This short demonstration video shows the Telescope bridge working with a Celestron Nextstar 4SE & MEADE ETX via Audiostar. The operation is the same on other telescope models. All are compatible with the joystick controller.
Use this mode to connect your telescope to popular apps such as Sky Safari. The Telescope Bridge will create it's own Wifi network so you can connect to it. The display will show you all the information you need to enter in your app to connect.
Just like the access point mode, the telescope bridge can also connect to your home network via your router. To do this the Telescope Bridge will create a portal you can access on your phone or tablet to configure your wifi settings. Once this is done it will be remembered.
You can use Bluetooth mode if you want. Just select this setting and the telescope bridge will create a Bluetooth device you can connect to. The screen will show you the device name and connection status.
The telescope Bridge can be used as a USB serial port connection, great for Stellarum and other great PC/MAC based programs. Removes the need for a seperate RS232 to scope cable setup. Features the newer USB-C connection. Just plug and go!
Use a Ninterdo Wii Nunchuck to control your telescope. Features fast & slow slewing along with fine & corse focus control (If you have a MEADE micro focusser installed).
Telescope Bridge can be updated over the air. No more having to use a program or app to update your device. Just enter the update mode and it will all happen automatically. Futreproof!

"This is great! Easy to setup and loads of features. I saved loads of money by not having to get a load of seprate modules or connection leads for my LX200GPS. Also the nunchuck control is gret when you are peering into an eyepiece and need to focus or move about :-)"
"Brilliant little device! My Celestron Nexstar now connects flawlessly over WiFi and Bluetooth. Setup was easy, the display shows exactly what you need. I love not having to mess with old RS232 cables anymore. Highly recommended!"
"The Telescope Bridge replaced several expensive modules I was looking at. WiFi setup took just a few minutes, and being able to update firmware over the air is a real bonus. The Nunchuk controller feature is also genius for fine-tuning without a laptop."
"Super impressed with the Telescope Bridge. I use it with my Skywatcher mount and SkySafari app. Rock solid connection, and the OTA updates work exactly as advertised. It's clear a lot of thought went into this."
"Finally, an easy way to connect my ETX without needing a PhD in serial cables! USB-C connection to my laptop works instantly, and wireless control from my tablet is just as smooth. Great piece of kit."
"Telescope Bridge turned my old Meade mount into a modern, wire-free setup. Fast delivery, clear instructions, and everything worked right out of the box. Saved me a lot of hassle and money!"
