PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: 

Your GSO type Dobsonian, although entry level, has optics that are on par with telescopes costing thousands of dollars more.  However, your Dobsonian is not so user friendly without added tools to help searching objects at night.   This is why we designed the EZ PUSH TO.    

Our system takes advantage of the advances of smart phone and encoder technology to produce an observing system that would have been very costly just a few years ago.  By utilizing the smart phone’s excellent display, Bluetooth and GPS functions, our app turns your smart phone into a high powered observing instrument.  In addition, we use the newest wireless magnetic encoder technology that are both very accurate andvery low power consuming.  This creates a system that is both economical and accurate.

It is our hope that the  EZ PUSH TO kit on your dob will rekindle your forgotten passion of watching the night sky. 

You are probably thinking that the EZ PUSH TO app is just another sky map or general app for telescopes.  You are wrong!   Most sky maps on a laptop or mobile phone apps do not provide for improving accuracy as you are viewing.  You can see lots of gorgeous sky map on 3rd party app, but they almost never provides any algorithm or tool to improve your system's accuracy.  This is why most  telescopes very often go to a  given target, only to find that the object is not there. Often the object may be several degrees away.  The EZ PUSH TO interface includes a highly accurate level meter and utilizes a visual multi-star alignment.  All of this is to  improve system accuracy and ensure a pleasant viewing experience.

The wireless Bluetooth electronics installed on the Dobsonianare designed to be exposed outdoors to enhance wireless data transferring. All the parts is designed to protect against humidity, and there is an automatic fuse to protect the power supply. The construction is made of durable metal and removable for convenient storage. It looks very simple, but is precisely manufactured.  Each unit is individually tested for quality and accuracy.

The installation is very straightforward - just put on the azimuth and altitude encoder modules on the Dobsonian – installation only takes a few minutes. Connect Bluetooth with the smart phone, which automatically looks at your GPS location and local time. Next, you would test your leveling of your base by  putting your phone on the base of the dob, and turn around to adjust the level.In seconds, the system is initialized.

The EZ PUSH TO  is  designed for visual observing.  It is not intended to be a complete sky encyclopedia.  The app’s database includes just about all the objects that someone would want to view such as the Messier/NGC /Herschel catalogue, double and binary stars, comets and small bodies, and magnitude 10.5 stars (260,000 stars).

EZ PUSH TO features lots of other amazing features such as roaming in the deep sky and naming unknown sky objects for you. EZ PUSH TO is designed to bring you in reach of the real deep sky inyour backyard,  camping or at a star party.
