Whether youre looking for a tracking platform to capture wide-field images of the Milky Way, or seeking a compact travel mount, SAM is a necessity for astrophotography's of every skill level. This high precision, portable celestial tracking platform can transform almost any tripod into an equatorial mount, assisting photographers with long exposures of the night sky. SAM breaks from the mold of traditional equatorial mounts with an abundance of add-on accessories to complement wide-field astrophotography, nightscape images, eclipses, panoramas or time-lapse photography. With the free SAM console app (for iOS android) you can customize your tracking speeds, photographers can choose between sidereal, solar and lunar, or other custom presets, useful for time-lapse videos. Even for users with no polar alignment experience, the Star Adventurer Mini is easy to setup using the included illuminated polar finder scope. Once aligned, users can attach their camera and activate sidereal tracking to start photographing the Milky way. In addition to the Star Adventurer Mini mount, several add-on accessories are included. The Equatorial base allows this platform to polar align and track in the RA axis, turning a conventional photo tripod into an important astrophotography tool. Both axis also feature clutches, allowing users to aim the Star Adventurer Mini without losing polar alignment. For users photographing nightscapes, the ball-head adapter provides more freedom to frame the image, while delivering consistent tracking.
Star Adventurer Mini (SAM). Nightscapes and Eclipses Made Easy.
Highlights and Features of the Star Adventurer Mini (SAM) 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 Mini has a payload capacity of 6.6 pounds, strong enough for a full-size DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Included Polar Alignment Scope with Illuminator
Even for users with no polar alignment experience, the Star Adventurer Mini 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 space objects.
Wifi Enabled, Smartphone Controlled
Compatible on both Android and iOS, Sky-Watcher's SAM Console app allows users to control their Star Adventurer Mini from their smartphone using it's proprietary Wifi signal.
Fully-Automated Remote Camera Control
Connect your camera using the SNAP port and fully automate your nightscape, time-lapse or panoramic images. Using the SAM Console app, users can connect a camera to the Star Adventurer Mini and set custom exposure times remotely!
The mportance of Polar Alignment in Nightscape Photography
For the best results, the Star Adventurer Mini 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 Mini'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 Mini onto 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
Lower ISO = Less Grain!
