Star Adventurer Astro Pack. Nightscapes Made Easy.
Highlights and Features of the Star Adventurer Tracking Mount
Durable All-Metal Gears
Durable, accurate and reliable brass and aluminum gearing allows for greater accuracy and longer exposures. Boasting a 144-tooth wheel gear and a 13mm diameter worm gear, the Star Adventurer has a payload capacity of 11 pounds, strong enough for a full-size DSLR or a small telescope.
Built-In Polar Alignment Scope with Illuminator
Even for users with no polar alignment experience, the Star Adventurer is easy to setup using the included illuminated polar finderscope. Once aligned, users can attach their camera and activate sidereal tracking to start photographing the Milky Way and other deep sky objects.
Mulitple Pre-Programmed Speeds for Tracking and Time-Lapse Photography
Multiple preprogramed speeds, including sidereal, solar, lunar, as well as four additional speeds for time-lapse photography and nightscapes, including 0.5x, 2x, 4x and 12x.
Time-Lapse, Snap Port, Auto Guider Port, DC Power Input
With several exposure presets, the Star Adventurer triggers the DSLR using the auxiliary shutter release cable. For photographers seeking perfectly round stars, the mount also comes equipped with a standard ST-4 port, allowing users to connect an autoguider for additional tracking accuracy.
The Importance of Polar Alignment in Nightscape Photography
For the best results, the Star Advnturer must be polar aligned before you start shooting. To do so, set your corresponding latitude on the base, identify Polaris and align it in the included polar scope. Once aligned, the Star Adventurer's tracking will counter the Earth's rotation accurately.
Why Use a Star Tracker?
Star trackers correct for the Earth's rotation, allowing you to shoot longer exposures and capture greater detail without star trails.
Without a tracker, DSLRs can only capture 15 second exposures before the Earth's rotation make stars appear blurry. But by integrating the Star Adventurer into any standard photo tripod, you can increase exposure times from 15 seconds to several minutes, allowing users to capture greater detail in the Milky Way with less grain or noise in their images, due to a lower ISO.
Shoot longer exposures, from 15 seconds to several minutes!
Capture greater detail in the Milky Way, as well as other celestial objects
