## Description

Since its introduction in 2014, the Star Adventurer has been at the forefront of the lightweight, portable astroimaging revolution. And now, with the Star Adventurer GTi, we are taking the next step with full GoTo performance in a compact package. The all-new Star Adventurer GTi features a built-in illuminated pool scope for precise alignment in EQ mode, ports for USB, autoguider, V-style dovetail, optional SynScan hand controller and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR (programmable via Sky-Watcher's free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android). Star Adventurer GTi also includes a two-position counterweight for use at low latitudes and full smartphone control over Wi-Fi. With the added GoTo feature plus multiple tracking rates including moon, solar and sidereal, the sky is yours to catch and explore. With its 11-pound payload, Star Adventurer is well equipped to handle your DLSR or mirrorless camera with a wide-angle or telephoto lens plus accessories, a small-aperture astrograph with a dedicated astrocamera, or even small OTAs like our Skymax series Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes perfect for objects in space, the moon and planets. Available in two configurations (with or without tripod and pier extension), Star Adventurer GTi is the perfect mount for the astrophotographer who wants the ultimate in both performance and portability.
