Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Astro Imaging Mount with WiFi, Autoguider, GTi Mount & Tripod

Compact yet notably capable, the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi is an astro imaging mount with tripod that brings full Go-To performance to a highly portable format. This package includes the GTi mount head, an adjustable stainless steel tripod, extension pier and accessory tray, with built-in Wi-Fi for control through the free SynScan Pro app on iOS and Android, plus a built-in illuminated polar scope for precise alignment.

With a 5kg payload capacity, the mount supports a DSLR or mirrorless camera setup, and it also accepts a small OTA for visual use or a dedicated astronomy camera. Tracking rates include sidereal, solar and lunar, while USB, ST4 auto-guiding and DSLR shutter release interfaces broaden its imaging flexibility. A dual-position counterweight arrangement supports use at low latitudes, and compatibility with a 3/8-inch tripod thread adds further versatility.
