Astrophotography made easy

The Skywatcher Star Adventurer makes astro photography easy. It fits to all standard photo tripods. The latitude is being adjusted comfortably with the polar wedge.

Star Adventurer´s motto: Astro photography as easy as possible but with enogh precision for pinpoint stars.


More information:

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 optional 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).

"Ware gut, aber könnte besser vorjustiert sein. Die ein oder andere Schraube muss man nachziehen."

"Auspacken, aufbauen und fotografieren. Perfekt! Einfach und präzise und unkomplizierte Handhabung. Solide verarbeitet- Schade nur das das Set ohne die Polsucherbeleuchtung angeboten wird. Ansonsten macht die Monto genau das was sie soll: Astrofotos und Timelapseaufnahmen ohne komplizierte Vorbereitungen."
