The user-friendly Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer provides
various combinations to satisfy all you
needs for astrophotography and time-lapse photography. It is a high precision,
portable and stable celestial tracking platform for sidereal, solar and lunar
tracking with automatic DSLR shutter release control. Moreover, it contains
pre-programmed parameters assisting you to create interesting time-lapse videos
with your DSLR.
The Star Adventurer can attach to any standard tripod via its 1/4"
or 3/8" adaptors. The latitude can be set by either simply adjusting the
tilt of your tripod head to match your latitude or more accurately by the
Equatorial Wedge.
To fit a camera to the Star Adventurer, either a tripod Ball Head is
required (not supplied) or the Dovetail L-Bracket. The Dovetail L-Bracket, used
in conjunction with the counterweight shaft/counterweight also allows small
telescopes (e.g. Skymax-90), with a 1/4"-20 tripod fitting, to be used
with the Star Adventurer. A small telescope and camera (using a ball head, not
supplied) can be mounted simultaneously on the Dovetail L-bracket. Using just
the dovetail bar from the Dovetail L-Bracket, two cameras can be mounted at the
same time using two tripod ball heads (not supplied).
Small telescopes for viewing also fit to the Star Adventurer, like the
TS INED70. The combination is small and lightweight, making it perfect for
travelling.
