Review of the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi with Setup and explanation of what images are needed for post processing with this Star Tracker. Results are shown of deep sky / deep space photography for the Andromeda Galaxy and Orion Nebula. The GTi version provides that additional Go-To functionality which allows the user to select a planet, star, or deep sky object and the system will automatically point to it.

Wow, that was amazingly clear directions. Hands-down, the best. Now I have some idea of what the heck to do. And it’s a lot which I had no concept of before.

@alexpol9065

Simple and cool!!! Never seen such simple and very clear explanation. Thank you for saving my time. Only useful information ❤

honestly i would post the set up of the GTI extra mby even as a short if u can manage that.. i am newbie who bought the video and u r the first person who actually explained it well and without skipping important parts etc

@yervantparnagian5999

I had one of the first GTI's in the first batch shipped out. This mount, at the time, suffered from heavy backlash. This was caused by how the screws were securing the worm gears. The screws were working themselves free. My understanding is that Sky Watcher has now included an additional nut for both the RA and Dec Axis. Hopefully this has solved the backlash issue. A spring-loaded worm gear would have been really nice too. The Dec Axis can also be sticky when turning it. This could create issues when trying to balance. Hopefully SW is using a better grease and not the glue/grease they were using. Also, the first mounts were only shipped with one counterweight with the GTI head only. It's nice to see two counterweights offered. The Wi-Fi, Go-To and App worked flawlessly. This mount has huge potential if the Backlash issue is finally solved. I would definitely use a tripod that had a nice wide flat base to secure the mount to.

Wow that's stunning

@aravec

Excellent review

@AmatureAstronomer

Nice, complete review.

@berubed

Merci pours les explications. 🙂

@Lord_Volkner

I bought one of these about a month ago and have taken it out 4 times. I've been happy with it.

@johnsilver7466

very good, thankyou 😊

@TreaHuggs

Could you do a tutorial on how to polar align with the north star isnt in the sky? Perfect example- You want to track the sun for the upcoming solar eclipse pictures.

@zeljkovedris8360

Hi Paul! Great and concise tutorial for beginners. You're the first one I've seen showing what to do when the session ends!

@panteliskatsikas9018

very nice video and easy presentation, one question, what is the rail you have put on the lens? thanks

@rooflessdriver68

Thanks for a great video. Which Snap port lead did you get for your Canon R5, as most listings don't mention The Canon R bodies.

@raulvergara404

thank you for simplifying the process, looking to buy the same tracker as it has the GOTO feature. This is as complex as I will ever get, your results are amazing. Any clue on how to align this tracker for a total solar eclipse?

@stefanschneider3681

MY BABY 🤩! Have one for more than a year and still love it! When I go crazy I even mount my 6‘‘-SC-telescope with my camera behind it. And it sometimes works amazingly well! Siril is my „weapon of choice“ as well, but agree: Not really self-explaining 😉

@stephenkaltenhauser2671

Hi Paul, thank you for the great video! Are you going to watch the April 8th Eclipse? Could you please do a video on Daytime Polar Alignment on the GTi. I'm preparing for the eclipse and am having many challenges with this! Many thanks!
