Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Reviews

Great star tracker, but also a great first telescope mount

I bought this a couple of years ago for night sky photos with my camera and lens. I got some great shots. It's a really good star tracker. Its feature set is amazing, with camera/telescope capability, lighted polar alignment, battery/DC power, wireless control, multiple tracking rates, etc. Then I violated all the rules and upgraded to a serious telescope without going to a bomb proof astrophotography mount. The 2i delivered an amazing performance for something it's not really intended for - see the M31 photo.   If you think you may be interested in astrophotography but want to start with an entry level mount, this will not disappoint. It's like starting with a manual focus, manual exposure camera. It will teach you a lot, and prepare you for better decisions going forward. Reading and understanding the manual is in itself a great introduction to the mechanics of how astro mounts function. Ultimately, I did upgrade to a bombproof telescope mount, the main reasons were to have GoTo capability, and declination axis tracking. The 2i does not have GoTo.

Best decision I ever made.

I bought this to use during the 2024 eclipse. I was frustrated during the 2017 eclipse because I could not keep the sun/moon centered in the frame. This worked perfectly. I can't wait to try it on night time images.

For combination of Nikkor 800mm (10.1lb) and Nikon D850 (2.01lb), this apparently does not work. Is there other heavier duty that you can recommend? Thanks!
Asked by: Huitang
Unfortunately it doesn't look like we have anything in our System that will hold that Payload. The heaviest these Trackers accept is up to 11LB. My apologies.
