Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi GoTo Mount (Head only)

Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi: Full GoTo in backpack size

The Star Adventurer GTi elevates the Star Adventurer series to the level of a true equatorial GoTo mount, without sacrificing portability. The head weighs 4.9 kg and supports 5 kg: enough for a lightweight APO or a compact astrophotography setup. Via the built-in WiFi, you connect the SynScan app, and the mount automatically selects your target from tens of thousands of objects.

For astrophotography, everything is on board: an illuminated polar scope for alignment, an ST-4 autoguider port for guiding during long exposures, a USB port, and a shutter port for your DSLR. Power is supplied via eight AA batteries or an external 12V source, allowing you to work even in dark locations without a power supply.

Cup without a stand

This article only concerns the mounting head with counterweight and rod. You place it on a tripod with a 3/8 inch connection. If you want the complete set, choose the Star Adventurer GTi Mounting & Stand.

Included

• Star Adventurer GTi mount head with built-in WiFi
• Counterbalance pliers and counterbalance
• Illuminated polar finder

Featured accessories

A tripod with a 3/8 inch connection is required; the complete set version includes the matching tripod with column extension.

For whom yes, for whom no

For mobile astrophotographers who want GoTo, guiding, and polar alignment in a lightweight head for a camera plus telephoto lens or a small APO. Not for those carrying more than 11 lbs (5 kg) of optics; for them, the serious work begins with the EQ-AL55i or HEQ5 Pro.
