Ishtar's video: Skywatcher Star Adventurer

I demo the Skywatcher Star Adventurer! I contacted Skywatcher about an inexpensive, but useful, mount for tracking stars for astrophotography. I wanted a mount under $500 which could hold a star "still" for photography, at 400mm focal length, for 30-60 seconds. They sent me one for free to evaluate and here it is! Cons: 1. Some plastic parts (not needed for operation) 2. Needs angled wedge and counter weight to be useful 3. Limited payload weight 4. Polaris finger scope light failed very quickly Pros: 1. Light weight, easy setup 2. VERY good unguided star tracking! 3. Heavy metal construction 4. Long battery life! 5. Polaris finder scope. 6. Lots of great knobs & parts designed to simplify use
