Description
A Star Watcher Star Adventurer GTI mount new in late 2022.
These are a great portable mount with a payload of up to 5kg, a built in polar alignment scope and onboard power. A great start to Eq tracked Astro photography that will carry a decent sized lens or my Redcat 51 or the 71 with the extra counterweight.
I can get untracked exposures of up to 3 minutes on a good night.
Also included is: 12v power cable for connection to a car battery, 8 rechargeable AA batteries (with charger) for onboard power and a 240v power pack/
Two counterweights (2.3kg and 1.4kg)
The mount can be controlled with the SynScan App on your phone or an ASIAir (I use a mini) or a hand controller(not included).
If you win and collect the mount I will include the 12v battery I use to power it in the field.

Hi, does it include the troops too? sakiwi10 (259 • 8:54 am, Mon, 4 MayThanks for spotting the typo, corrected. ds6 (146 • Monday, 4 May 2026Do you know if these can go alt az? I see photos of them with the counterweight bar on a different angle and the clamp looks horizontal justclick (69 • 11:17 am, Tue, 5 MayThanks for your question. I've not tried it but I imagine you could use it Alt Az. The mount does go horizontal for looking at something directly overhead. The mount has two positions for the counterweight bar to stop it hitting the tripod depending on what you are looking at and from where. ds6 (146 • Tuesday, 5 May 2026I'm intrigued where did you get the smaller counterweight from? madkiwi1 (294 • 10:48 am, Wed, 6 MayThanks for your query. I can't find the documentation, but suspect I bought it from one of the suppliers in Australia. I use Testar mostly. ds6 (146 • Wednesday, 6 May 2026
