The best part is, you can do all of this on your mobile phone or tablet connected to the mount via WiFi. With the Star Adventurer GTi, you simply tell the mount what you want to see, and it points right to it. This was a major roadblock for newbies who were still learning the sky, and/or didn’t have the resources to come up with a solution to the problem on their own. To find and photograph a deep-sky nebula or galaxy in the night sky, you first had to manually find it yourself. Now, I know not everyone feels this feature is essential, but “ How do you find objects in space?” was the most common question I got from beginners using the original Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer. “GoTo” simply means that you can pick an object in the night sky, and the mount will point to it for you. The one major missing feature of the original Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker was GoTo functionality. (2.5 hours exposure) Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi The Blue Horsehead Nebula captured using the Star Adventurer GTi and Radian 61. I have used this mount at several star parties over the past year with great success. In this article, I’ll cover what’s included with the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi package, and share my early astrophotography using the star tracker in my backyard. The Star Adventurer GTi combines the best of the AZ Gti and the Star Adventurer 2i into one mount. However, this was an altitude-azimuth mount designed for visual use, not astrophotography. The Star Adventurer GTi can handle a compact telescope complete with autoguiding.īefore the Star Adventurer GTi was released, the only comparable “GoTo grab and go” mount from Sky-Watcher was the AZ-GTi. Sky-Watcher sent me a production copy of their brand new Star Adventurer GTi to test out, and I’ve been waiting for this version of their iconic star tracker for a long time. It includes a dedicated WiFi-connected smartphone app, and can be used with autoguiding. Unlike the original Star Adventurer, the GTi model also has the ability to find deep-sky objects in the night sky using the SynScan GoTo system. It allows you to take long-exposure images of space by tracking the apparent movement of the night sky.

The computerised SynScan system is the ultimate upgrade that allows automatic pointing and tracking of more than 42,000 object in the sky! This option will save time when finding planets and deep sky objects in the vastness of the night sky. The tracking can be performed by the optional dual-axis motors that can be easily connected to the mount.
For example, if you are in Sydney (latitude 33° South), adjust the mount inclination to 33° above the horizon using the scale on the EQ3 mount. Once the tripod is levelled and the mount is orientated south, incline the mount at the same angle of your local latitude. The heavy duty aluminium tripod increases the stability of the telescope and reduces vibration due to wind.Īligning an equatorial mount is an easy operation that can be completed in a few minutes. The altitude and azimuth fine adjustment knobs make the polar alignment easy while the gears ensure accurate tracking. The EQ3 is a lightweight German equatorial mount that easily bears the weight of the Sky-Watcher 150/750. That is a great advantage for high resolution observation as it is only necessary to turn a single knob whilst tracking an object across the sky. The equatorial mount offers the convenience to compensate the Earth’s rotation. On top of that, the fast f/5 focal ratio is perfect for astrophotography. Globular clusters will reveal thousands of stars and nebulae will show filaments of gas floating in the dark sky. This means amazing observations of the rings of Saturn, features on Mars, the tangled atmosphere of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. This telescope collect 459x more light than the unaided eye and in good conditions, the resolution can reach 0.80″. With an aperture of 150mm, this telescope permits exploration of fine planetary details and it reveals hundreds of deep sky objects such as nebulae, galaxies and clusters.
