Sky-Watcher Evolux-62ED Star Adventurer GTi set: complete photo set with tripod
This set combines the Evolux-62ED apo (62/400mm, f/6.45) with the Star Adventurer GTi WiFi GoTo mount, tripod, counterweight, polar scope, and field flattener: everything you need to photograph deep-sky objects tonight, except for the camera. Total weight around 10 kg, so this entire observatory fits in one bag.
What can you photograph with it?
Short, fast apochromats are made for the grand showpieces: the Andromeda Galaxy, the North America Nebula, the Pleiades, and extensive H-alpha regions fit comfortably on the sensor. Stars remain sharp points without color fringing, from the center of the image to far into the corners (with a flattener). Visually, such a tube provides wide, bright star fields.
Star Adventurer GTi: the go-to travel mount
The GTi is a full-fledged, travel-sized equatorial GoTo mount. Via Wi-Fi and the SynScan app, it locates celestial objects and tracks the sky's rotation for long exposures. The included polar scope allows for accurate alignment, and the flattener keeps stars sharp all the way to the edges.
This is how to get the most out of this telescope
- Virtually no cooling time and no collimation: A refractor is ready within fifteen minutes, and the optics stay aligned. More time for photons.
- Dew control is essential with lenses: A dew cap or dew heater prevents the front lens from fogging up in the middle of a session.
- Visually pleasing as well: also visually useful as an exceptionally clear widefield viewer.
- Never look directly at the sun without protection., not even for one photo: only with a certified solar filter in front.
For whom yes and for whom no
Hello The beginner in deep-sky photography who wants a complete, portable system in one purchase, without a combination puzzle.
Not Anyone who already has a photo-quality tripod can consider the variant without a tripod; if you want astrophotography without the mount learning curve and post-processing, then the smart telescopes the shorter route; ours Telescope Buying Guide for Beginners explain the difference.
Featured accessories
These accessories add the most after purchase:
- Camera adapter: The Sky-Watcher M48 adapters connect your Canon EOS or Nikon directly to the flattener or focuser.
- Light Pollution Filter (2 inch) Under the Dutch or Belgian sky, a light pollution filter can significantly enhance the contrast in your photos.
