Since its release, the Star Adventurer has led the way in the development of portable, light-weight astro-imaging technology. The Star Adventurer GTi allows us to advance to the next level with complete Go-To performance in a small package.
In addition to a built-in illuminated polar scope for precise alignment, the innovative new Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Astro Imaging Mount with Wi-Fi, Autoguider, GTi Mount & Tripod (20327) also has interfaces for USB, an optional SynScan hand controller, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR (programmable via Sky-Watcher's free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android). A dual-position counterweight for usage at low latitudes and complete smartphone control via Wi-Fi are also included with the Star Adventurer GTi.
The sky is yours to capture and explore thanks to the additional Go-To feature and several tracking speeds, including lunar, solar, and sidereal.
A tiny aperture autograph with a dedicated astronomy camera, an OTA for visual usage, or just a DLSR or mirrorless camera with a wide-angle or telephoto lens and accessories may all be carried by the Star Adventurer GTi thanks to its 5kg payload capacity.
The Star Adventurer GTi is the ideal mount for astronomers who demand the highest levels of portability and performance.
(The Star Adventurer GTi is also available as a mount head only, code 20326)
