"TOUCHSTAR completely transformed how I use my old LX200. The Android app connected instantly, and I was up and running in minutes. No cables, no fuss. It's like having a modern controller for a classic scope!"
"The touchscreen is bright and responsive. I love how the Nunchuk lets me slew the telescope smoothly-feels like playing a video game, but with stars!"
"I use TOUCHSTAR with a small Android tablet, and the wireless connection works perfectly at my dark site. The web updates are a nice touch-this thing keeps getting better."
"TOUCHSTAR + the Nunchuk is a killer combo. I use the joystick for fine adjustments and the touchscreen for everything else. Super intuitive-finally something my kids can use with me."
"The Android app works great over Bluetooth, and I love that I can control everything without being tethered to the mount. It's especially helpful during long imaging sessions."
"Used it for two nights under the stars, and I'm sold. The Nunchuk joystick gives you real control over slewing, and the build quality is solid. ScopeBits nailed it."
