Description

Since its introduction in 2014, the Star Adventurer has been at the forefront of the lightweight, portable astroimaging revolution. And now, with the Star Adventurer GTi, we take the next step with full GoTo performance in a compact package. The all-new Star Adventurer GTi features a built-in illuminated polar scope for precision alignment in EQ mode, ports for USB, autoguider, V-style dovetail, optional SynScan hand controller, 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 added 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 our Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes perfect for deep space objects, the Moon, and planets. Available in two configurations (with or without tripod and pier extension), Star Adventurer GTi is the perfect mount for the astrophotographer that wants the ultimate in both performance and portability.

  • Tracks great
I've been using this mount for DSO imaging on my smartphone and have found it easy to use. Alignment is easy once you figure it out. The GOTO works great as long as you can center on your stars. Get a laser sight for your scope!

  • GoTo Function Is Wonderful
I also have the Star Adventurer 2i Pro, here is a comparison to the Star Adventurer 2i Pro: Pros: + Easier to polar align: The crosshair is always up, unlike its predecessor, where you need to adjust it. + Built-in illuminator: Helps a lot with the alignment process. The predecessor had an extra part which may fall off or get blocked by your camera equipment. They solved this issue. + GoTo function: The biggest upgrade, directly ppints your camera to the sky object you want to image. + I found the overall quality to be a bit better. Cons: - A little heavier but it is still portable - Taken a bit more space but still, if you have a car, no problem. Overall, well worth the extra couple of hundreth dollars but you can also survive with the predecessor, just needs some extra work (therefore time). I will update the review with some results after experimenting with a couple of deep sky images. ... show more

  • Portability is king
Love the portability. Can support small telescopes without issue.

  • Absolutely amazing! Well worth it.
This go-to mount is incredible. Very easy to polar align with the SynScan app and built-in polar scope. App works flawlessly. Very easy to set up and get balanced. No issues with target aligning or tracking. Able to do 3 minute unguided images no problem. At on a guide camera and scope, and I can easy go 5+ minutes. This is a great travel scope, or for someone just starting out. Use this with both my DSLR and lenses, as well as ASI533MC Pro and RedCat 51 II scope. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Simple tripod controlled from my phone
This tripod allowed me to track the sun for the 2024 solar eclipse. It was just the right size/weight for my camera so I could leave my heaver AVX at home. I especially like that it can connect with the phone via Bluetooth. So many wireless astronomy tools connect with WiFi and that gets tricky trying to get them all on the same wifi network. The polar scope is a little difficult to use. There is a polemaster adapter on thingiverse. The plastic polar scope cover falls off all the time. ... show more

  • The GO(near)TO mount.
This is a lite weight mount that is easy to carry out into the yard on clear nights, and I've been happy with it. Even so, there are some things one should consider before buying. 1) There is no tech support ... or rather Sky Watcher's tech support department seemingly consists of just one person, Alex, and he does not want to talk to you ... at all ... ever. Stop bothering him. I tried calling multiple times, hoping to get someone else, but got Alex every time. I tried sending emails, but again, Alex every time, and he had exactly zero interest helping me resolve the issue that I had. 2) The GOTO functionality is really GO(near)TO. The reason for this is that star alignment is nearly impossible unless you live out on the plains somewhere with zero obstructions on your horizon. What I found was that every time I tried to do a star alignment, I could pick any 1st star I wanted, but then was only given an option of 3 or 4 stars for the 2nd star ... every one of them right on the horizon. I have a fine view of the sky where I am, but not of the horizon. From the horizon up to 10°(ish) above the horizon, I can't see. The result of this is that I can only ever do a 1-star alignment, which means that I only have GO(near)TO functionality. 3) The leveling bubble is VERY poorly placed. You can only see it from the side, and not straight down. This makes leveling the mount a little bothersome. On the bright side, this mount works well with my battery pack jump starter that I got from the auto-parts store to jump start my mower. I didn't even have to buy a cable as the cable that came with the jump starter was the right size for the plug on the mount. Had I to do it over again, I would still buy this mount. The price is great for a GO(near)TO mount. It's easy to use, well built, lite weight, and it tracks just fine. It supports the weight of my 80mm refractor and camera without any issue. ... show more

  • Much more precise than my previous star adventurer
It was great, 300mm 1min exposure I get about 90% or more frames with sharp stars, compared to 60% with my previous star adventurer v1 (that one also seems to be below what others described) Goto precision is great too. It also feels substantially more rigid and less backlash than the star adventurer. ... show more

  • As good as you would expect!
Its a great mount just make sure you understand the limitations. I thought the light in the scope was not functioning when testing but you just need to be in the dark to see it. What a great mount!
