More information:

The SkyWatcher Star Tracker, STAR ADVENTURER, is easy to use and comes with different configurations to meet all your needs for Astrophotography and Time-Lapse. It is a highly accurate, easy to carry and stable star tracking platform and allows guiding at Sidereal, Solar and Lunar speeds with automatic DSLR camera shutter control. What's more, it contains pre-programmed parameters that help you create your Time-Lapse videos with your DSLR camera.

The STAR ADVENTURER can be attached to almost any standard photography tripod via its 1/4" or 3/8" adapter. The latitude can be adjusted either by adjusting the tilt of your head as precisely as possible, or to make it finer by using the SD equatorial wedge (optional accessory that only comes standard on the ASTROPHOTO version).

To attach a camera to the STAR ADVENTURER, you can either use a ball head (not included) or the "L" bracket that only comes standard with the ASTROFOTO and ASTRO versions. The "L" bracket used in combination with the counterweight and counterweight bar (optional accessory) also allows you to work with small telescopes (Mak 90 type) with a connection via ¼-20 tripod thread.

Using a ball head (not included) you can simultaneously mount a small telescope and a camera on the STAR ADVENTURER, thanks to the "L" bracket. Using only the dovetail that comes with the (optional) "L" shaped bracket, two cameras can be mounted at the same time using two ball heads (not supplied).
