The wifi camera uses a cantenna or waveguide antenna – so I assumed the wifi telescope used the same. Assumption is the mother of all…

The classic Yagi-Uda antenna is contained inside, aligned for polarity like this:

I must admit, in almost every application I prefer the higher gain of my parabolic dish though :)
