Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTI Mount with Tripod

Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi astro-imaging GoTo mount with WiFi and autoguider interface

Since its introduction the Star Adventurer has been at the forefront of the lightweight, portable astro-imaging revolution. And now, with the Star Adventurer GTi, Sky-Watcher takes the next step with full Go-To performance in a compact package.

The exciting new Star Adventurer GTi features a built-in illuminated polar scope for precision alignment, interfaces for USB, autoguider, optional SynScan hand controller, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR (programmable via Sky-Watcher’s free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android). The 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 Go-To feature plus multiple tracking rates including lunar, solar, and sidereal, the heavens are yours to capture and explore.

With its 5 kg payload capacity, the Star Adventurer GTi is well-equipped to handle your DLSR or mirrorless system camera sporting a wide-angle or telephoto lens plus accessories, a small aperture astrograph with a dedicated astronomy camera, or simply an OTA for visual use via its 45 mm dovetail saddle.

The Star Adventurer GTi is the perfect mount for the astro-photographer that wants the ultimate in both performance and portability.

This version already includes an extension pier and a tripod, but you can also use any sturdy photo tripod.

The mount is supplied without telescope!

(The Star Adventurer GTi is also available without tripod or pier extension, code SKAD-GTI).
