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. Review: Cheap Build Quality - This is my first Star Tracker equatorial mount. And was a much awaited and anticipated purchase. I did not expect such a reputed company to outsource production to CHINA. The Battery cover is made of cheap plastic and very poorly designed. My tracker did not turn on while using 8 AA batteries, after a lot of trials I discovered that it would turn on if I pressed down on the battery cover, in spite of the screw being fully tightened. There seems to be some loose contact, in the battery compartment. I could only make it work after tying down the battery compartment using a bungee cord strap. The battery compartment cover is held down by three small plastic pegs on one end and the screw on the other end. On close inspection one of the plastic pegs was broken. I felt it wasn’t worth paying for the shipping, to send this back to the company for a replacement. The design could be improved if the battery compartment cover is held down using 2 screws at both ends, instead of the small plastic pegs. Looks like the bungee chord strap is going to be part of my rig. While using fully charged 8AA Panasonic Eneloop batteries, the red light kept flashing, probably indicating Low voltage. (Each Eneloop Battery is only 1.2V giving a total voltage of only 9.6V.) But Despite this, Once it turned on everything seemed to work well as expected, waiting for clear skies to test it out in the field. The SynScan Pro App works perfectly and had no problems connecting my Android phone via WIFI Review: Works well, though the SynScan app can be problematic upon occasion. When it is working, my goto’s were very good. I do astrophotography and use this with a guide scope/camera, through EQMOD and that works well. Some nights my total error is about 1.2-1.7 which isn’t great if you have a camera with very small pixel pitch. For mine not an issue. Other nights I can get about 0.6-0.8 total error. Goto’s with Stellarium and EQMOD work very nicely. And with no guide, good polar alignment I could get up to 2 min subs with a 200mm lens. ## Features - Star Adventurer GTi full GoTo mount head - Counterweight bar - Built-in Wi-Fi - Built-in polar scope with illuminator ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BCCL38JQ | | Additional Features | Full GoTo performance in a compact package | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,316 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,101 in Camera Mounts & Clamps | | Brand | Sky-Watcher | | Built-In Media | Counterweight bar, 5 lbs. counterweight | | Coating | StarBright XLT | | Compatible Devices | DSLR Camera, Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (79) | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 10.29 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 1500 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00810098970006 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 30.5D x 17.8W x 40.6H centimeters | | Item Weight | 6.9 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Skywatcher | | Manufacturer Part Number | S20590 | | Model Name | Star Adventurer GTi | | Model Number | S20590 | | Mount | GoTo Equatorial Mount | | Power Source | Battery Powered, External Power | | UPC | 810098970006 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Zoom Ratio | 50x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sky-Watcher - **Eye piece lens description:** Plossl - **Model name:** Star Adventurer GTi - **Product dimensions:** 30.5D x 17.8W x 40.6H centimeters - **Telescope mount description:** GoTo Equatorial Mount ## Images ![Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTI Mount Head Kit with Counterweight and CW bar - Full GoTo EQ Tracking Mount for Portable and Lightweight Astrophotography - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XoZdRetdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is polar alignment done by wifi?** A: Polar alignment for the Star Adventure GTi is performed with the unit's built-in polar scope.

Puede soportar muy bien el peso de un Celestron C5 spotting scope junto con una cámara Nikon D3100 y su anillo T adaptador (T-Ring Adapter). Logre tomar una muy buena imagen de la Nebulosa de Orión con seguimiento y tiempo de exposición de 30 segundos (27 imágenes apiladas). En las pruebas que realice es posible tomar fotografías de hasta 1 minuto de exposición, sin guiado; obteniéndose estrellas aceptablemente puntuales. Es importante aclarar que la versión que compre venia SIN TRIPODE tal y como lo mencionaba la descripción en su momento (revisar antes de comprar). Al respecto del tripode es importante que este sea robusto y que pueda soportar el peso del Sky-Watcher, Telescopio y aditamentos juntos; adicional a esto hay que tomar en cuenta que el SkyWatcher viene con rosca para TORNILLO DE SUJECION DE 3/8 - 16. Algunos trípodes utilizan tornillos de sujeción diferentes por lo que es muy importante verificar que tornillo de sujeción tiene el trípode que pretendes usar con el skywatcher. Si no fuera compatible, será necesario que adquieras un adaptador para la rosca de tu trípode. La función Go-To es funcional mas no muy precisa, pero no tendrás problemas para encuadrar tu objetivo de forma manual ya que no se desvía demasiado. En general estoy satisfecho con el producto. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sky Watcher Star Adventurer GTI Mount Head Kit with Counterweight and CW bar - Full GoTo EQ Tracking Mount for Portable and Lightweight Astrophotography - Sky-Watcher S20550 Star Adventurer Ball Head Adapter, Telescope Accessory, Green - SkyWatcher S20560 Star Adventurer Dec Bracket, Telescope Accessory, Black, Single --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/539586948-skywatcher-star-adventurer-gti-mount-head-kit-with-counterweight-cw](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/539586948-skywatcher-star-adventurer-gti-mount-head-kit-with-counterweight-cw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
