The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Mount Kit is designed for deep space, widefield, and nightscape astrophotography. It features a built-in illuminated polar scope for precision alignment in EQ mode, ports for USB and auto guider, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR (programmable via Sky-Watcher’s free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android). Star Adventurer GTi also includes a dual-position counterweight for use at low latitudes as well as full smartphone control via Wi-Fi. With the GoTo feature plus multiple tracking rates, including lunar, solar, and sidereal, the heavens are yours to capture and explore.
With its 11-pound payload capacity, Star Adventurer is well-equipped to handle your DLSR or mirrorless camera sporting a wide-angle or telephoto lens plus accessories, a small aperture astrograph with a dedicated Astro Camera, or even small OTA’s such as Sky-Watcher's Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes, perfect for deep-space objects, the moon, and planets.
