I have been using the SA GTi for about a month now and have been very satisfied. Its go to capability is a huge advantage over the SA 2i, since it saves time when locating the astronomical objects that you want to photograph or observe, but it also feels more robust, the knobs for polar alignment are better and allow adjustment easier and more precise. It is very easy to install and connect. The tracking is very precise and using guidance, I have been able to take 3 minute exposures with a 560mm telescope with an average error of less than 1 arc second. Read more

Funciona perfecto Read more

Works well, though the SynScan app can be problematic upon occasion. When it is working, my goto’s were very good. I do astrophotography and use this with a guide scope/camera, through EQMOD and that works well. Some nights my total error is about 1.2-1.7 which isn’t great if you have a camera with very small pixel pitch. For mine not an issue. Other nights I can get about 0.6-0.8 total error. Goto’s with Stellarium and EQMOD work very nicely. And with no guide, good polar alignment I could get up to 2 min subs with a 200mm lens. Read more

Si tienes una idea de que va esto permiteme decirte que no te vas a arrepentir de comprarla, aunque si te recomiendo que la consigas con el tripié incluido de la misma marca, te ahorraras algunos problemas de compatibilidad y estabilidad... Funciona de maravilla y hace muy practico el salir a campo sin exceso de peso y cosas que a la larga no usarás, aún no le encuentro detalles pero si los hay en un futuro actualizo mi reseña Read more

El Sky Watcher Star Adventurer GTI es un muy buen producto para astrofotografía básica. Puede soportar muy bien el peso de un Celestron C5 spotting scope junto con una cámara Nikon D3100 y su anillo T adaptador (T-Ring Adapter). Logre tomar una muy buena imagen de la Nebulosa de Orión con seguimiento y tiempo de exposición de 30 segundos (27 imágenes apiladas). En las pruebas que realice es posible tomar fotografías de hasta 1 minuto de exposición, sin guiado; obteniéndose estrellas aceptablemente puntuales. Es importante aclarar que la versión que compre venia SIN TRIPODE tal y como lo mencionaba la descripción en su momento (revisar antes de comprar). Al respecto del tripode es importante que este sea robusto y que pueda soportar el peso del Sky-Watcher, Telescopio y aditamentos juntos; adicional a esto hay que tomar en cuenta que el SkyWatcher viene con rosca para TORNILLO DE SUJECION DE 3/8 - 16. Algunos trípodes utilizan tornillos de sujeción diferentes por lo que es muy importante verificar que tornillo de sujeción tiene el trípode que pretendes usar con el skywatcher. Si no fuera compatible, será necesario que adquieras un adaptador para la rosca de tu trípode. La función Go-To es funcional mas no muy precisa, pero no tendrás problemas para encuadrar tu objetivo de forma manual ya que no se desvía demasiado. En general estoy satisfecho con el producto.

great little mount. worth upgrade to the sky guider pro. good tracking . GOTO feature is awesome (with asiair or something) Read more

I set this up with a Redcat51, a ZWO asi294 pro, asi120 guide camera controlled with an ASIAir. The first night I did the polar alignment using the ASIAir then slewed it to the North America nebula where I did my final focusing and did a few test images of about 1 minute each to make sure I had it framed how I wanted it. Well I set up a run of 10 pictures 3 minutes each but guiding failed during the first image, I didn’t set it up correctly so I just let it take the images anyway. Well I thought I was taking 3 minute integrations but I had checked 300 seconds and that is 5 minute integrations not 3 like I thought I was taking. To my surprise the images came out perfect totally round stars no trailing with no guiding. This mound tracks like a dream better than my LX200 but then again it’s had a much smaller focal length. The next day I setup again and 5 minute tracking was spot on both guiding and not guiding. I slewed to several targets that night and it hits its target almost dead on every time. This will be my camping setup nice and compact. Read more

Vale la pena si sabes de estas cosas. Sobre todo fácil de llevar y armar. Read more

This is my first Star Tracker equatorial mount. And was a much awaited and anticipated purchase. I did not expect such a reputed company to outsource production to CHINA. The Battery cover is made of cheap plastic and very poorly designed. My tracker did not turn on while using 8 AA batteries, after a lot of trials I discovered that it would turn on if I pressed down on the battery cover, in spite of the screw being fully tightened. There seems to be some loose contact, in the battery compartment. I could only make it work after tying down the battery compartment using a bungee cord strap. The battery compartment cover is held down by three small plastic pegs on one end and the screw on the other end. On close inspection one of the plastic pegs was broken. I felt it wasn’t worth paying for the shipping, to send this back to the company for a replacement. The design could be improved if the battery compartment cover is held down using 2 screws at both ends, instead of the small plastic pegs. Looks like the bungee chord strap is going to be part of my rig. While using fully charged 8AA Panasonic Eneloop batteries, the red light kept flashing, probably indicating Low voltage. (Each Eneloop Battery is only 1.2V giving a total voltage of only 9.6V.) But Despite this, Once it turned on everything seemed to work well as expected, waiting for clear skies to test it out in the field. The SynScan Pro App works perfectly and had no problems connecting my Android phone via WIFI Read more
