Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi mount kit (S20595)

For the price point it is an amazing piece of kit

I had one of the first Skywatcher star adventurer mounts and I had nothing but problems with the polar alignment and the setup. I found the batteries would die regularly and I would have to replace the batteries every time I went out. I also found the extra eyepiece for the polar align to be difficult to use and always forget it after driving to get on location. I would have to keep spare batteries in my toolbox for the eyepiece as it was always switching on in the bags. The GTi mount is a goto mount. It will align to the polar star on its own and requires minimal manual adjustment. I paired this mount with the ASIair Plus and used it with my Canon R5. The ASIair powers the GTi mount and handles all the x and y movements. The Camera is used for the polar alignment and you can zoom in. I would recommend getting the tripod to save time with setup and the tripod is rather good and stiff.

Just set it up but waiting for clear sky’s to try it out

Great mount

I purchased the GTi to do astrophotography with an 80mm refactor. It works great with this setup. It is light so easy to transport and setup. The images that I took where extremely clear with pin point stars. I'm extremely happy with the GTi.
