More information

The SkyWatcher Star Adventurer offers various combinations to meet all your astrophotography and time lapse photography needs. It is a high precision, portable and stable celestial tracking platform for sidereal, solar and lunar tracking with automatic DSLR shutter control.

The Star Adventurer can attach to any standard tripod via its 1/4" or 3/8" adapters.

This version comes with the Alt-Azimuth adjustment base. Latitude can be set by simply adjusting the tilt of your tripod head to achieve precise alignment.

You will be able to adapt your camera using a classic tripod ball head (not supplied) or using the L-shaped support provided in the kit. The dovetail L-bracket, used in conjunction with the counterweight bar, also allows small telescopes (such as a small 60mm refractor) to be used.

The Star Adventurer can also be used for visuals with small glasses like a 60 or 70mm. This combination will allow you to observe or photograph the sky wherever you go.

A new WIFI Module

This new version of the Star Adventurer is equipped with a wifi module capable of controlling your camera using a connected cord and allows you to program a series of shots.

It also allows remote adjustment of the different tracking modes.

All these functions are available on Smartphone or tablet thanks to an application that you will find here:Star Adventurer mini Console

Power Priority
