Sky-Watcher sin Skyhawk-1145PS (AZ-GTe) er designet for å kontrolleres via smarttelefonen eller nettbrettet ved bruk av gratisprogrammet SynScan for iOS og Android. Az-Gte monteringen lager sitt eget Wi-Fi nettverk, så man kan bruke teleskopet uten tilgang til internett. Man behøver bare taste inn sine egne koordinater, så gjør teleskopet resten ved å automatisk finne ønskede himmelobjekter.
AZ-GTt og SynScan appen gir helmotorisert Go-To kontroll, som sørger for at teleskopet stiller seg inn på hvilken som helst av de over 10,000 himmelobjektene som fins i databasen.
Men en veldig nyttig 114 mm lysåpning og et supert parabolsk primærspeil, er Skyhawk et veldig allsidig teleskop for observasjoner av månen, lyssterke planeter, stjernetåke, galakser og stjernekonstellasjoner.
