![]() Later that summer, I tested the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer (Pro Package). It created the perfect opportunity to compare this camera tracker against some of the competing models in this category, in terms of overall user experience and performance. In this post, I’ll discuss the topic of using a star tracker for astrophotography, and which one I like using most. From the mechanical design to the polar alignment procedure, this portable tracking camera mount is very different from any astrophotography mount I have ever used before. This summer, I had the opportunity to review a new star tracker for astrophotography, the Fornax Mounts LighTrack II. I recommend the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i (Pro Pack) for beginner astrophotographers looking for the best overall experience. Astrophotography demands long-exposure tracked images to collect as much signal (light) as possible, and that is exactly what a star tracker allows you to do. Your exposure lengths are no longer limited to 30-seconds or less due to a moving sky, and you can dial back camera settings like ISO and F-stop.Įquatorial camera mounts are designed to align with the polar axis of the night sky so you can take long-exposure images that are free of star trailing. When it comes to astrophotography, a star tracker allows you to take better images.
