SkyWatcher SynLink: the all-in-one astrophotography controller

The SkyWatcher SynLink is an all-in-one astrophotography controller designed to radically simplify imaging sessions, reducing cabling, complexity and reliance on a laptop in the field. Suited to both beginner and advanced astrophotographers, SynLink combines full control of mount, camera, accessories and power supply in a single device.

Thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity and cross-platform software, SynLink lets you manage your entire setup from a smartphone, tablet or PC, removing the need for a bulky laptop on site. Automated functions — guided polar alignment, plate solving and capture sequences — deliver professional results quickly and easily.

On the hardware side, the device acts as a central hub: it distributes power, manages USB ports and controls accessories such as filter wheels, focusers and dew heater bands, for a tidier, more reliable and faster setup.

Key features

  • Centralized control of all your astrophotography equipment
  • Fewer cables thanks to an integrated USB and power hub
  • Wireless management via 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi
  • Intuitive software with guided workflows (polar alignment, focusing, plate solving)
