User reviews

Looks promising

Just got my kit a couple of days ago, and am trying to test it. Having a problem with Bluetooth on IOS 15.4.1. I get ‘“Romer Optics” is not supported’ when I try to pair Bluetooth in Bluetooth settings.

Just heard back from the developer. He said ensure that bluetooth is turned on, but do the pairing IN THE APP, not in iPhone bluetooth settings

I already verified that the hardware is good using my Android tablet and the Android app.

Excellent addition to your GSO Dobsonian telescope

I have been using the Romer Optics Ez-Pushto encoders and this app since 2019. I have two GSO Dobsonian telescopes both fitted with the Ez-Pushto encoders. Once I figured out how to use the App, i have come to appreciate how well it works. I Initially align with Polaris, then add 1 or 2 alignment stars/targets. This takes less than a minute and usually enough to start using the App. The App also lets you add additional alignment stars (one for each zone) which improves the accuracy of the system. The App also lets you correct any alignment errors later in the session when you are pushing to a selected target, thereby allowing continual improvement of accuracy.

It is much easier to setup than my other motorized mounts (Celestron AGST, Skywatcher HEQ5, Meade LX200). Alignment with these motorized mounts typically take me longer than 10 minutes compared to 1 minute with the EZ-Pushto. Note that the EZ-Pushto works only with GSO manufactured Dobsonian telescopes, so comparison with the other mounts I mentioned is not an apples to apples comparison.

Overall great product, and it has helped me locate targets much easier and faster than Star hopping.

Ne marche plus

Après 2 ans d’utilisation chaotique ne marche plus l’application ne s’allume plus malgré le téléchargement de la nouvelle version

Good product

It would be very helpful and easily accomplished if you have a fluent English speaker rewrite your manuals- installation, software use, etc. They are confusing and at times not understandable.

Fabuleux

Cela fait plus de deux ans que j’utilise Ez Push To sur mon Dobson de conception personnelle et je viens de l’installer sur un Skywatcher Stargate 458 mm, que du bonheur !!! Si votre installation est propre et le niveau bien réglé vous trouvez tous les objets du ciel sans problèmes. J’ai pu trouver cette année 4 comètes en rentrant les coordonnées dans l’application. Pour 100$ c’est fabuleux.
