I am able to shoot at 500mm for 90 second exposures with no blur from movement of the earth
By Jon R.
I bought the SkyGuider Pro to allow long exposures of the Milky Way and other deep space objects. I set it up to use with a Nikon D850 with a 200 x 500 f5.6 Nikkor lens. That's quite a bit of weight but getting balance was easy. I am able to shoot at 500mm for 90 second exposures with no blur from movement of the earth. I'm out at night every chance I get when the moon is small and the skies are clear.
Explore the cosmos with the SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount Full Package from iOptron, a leader in the camera tracker market. This advanced, professional-grade device is designed for astrophotography enthusiasts, offering a sturdy and durable all-metal mechanical structure that can handle a payload of up to 11 lbs (5kg), making it suitable for heavy camera/lens systems and even lightweight telescopes.
The SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount is equipped with a detachable alt-azi base with fine latitude and azimuth adjusters, ensuring easy and precise polar alignment. It also includes the iOptron AccuAlign dark-field illuminated polar scope with adjustable illumination, offering different brightness levels for optimal visibility.
This high-quality camera mount offers silent tracking for smooth camera motion, making it perfect for long-term exposures. It features four tracking speeds (1X, 1/2X, solar and lunar), allowing you to capture stunning images of the sky, stars, and landscapes simultaneously. The 1X celestial tracking is ideal for imaging the sky and stars, while the 1/2X tracking speed is perfect for capturing both the starry night and the landscapes at the same time.
Designed for global use, the SkyGuider Pro operates in both the northern and southern hemispheres. It also includes a quick slew (144X) for easy camera framing adjustment. The built-in rechargeable battery ensures up to 20 hours of operation at 20 degrees Celsius, while the built-in ST-4 auto guiding port, HBX port for external hand controller, and a micro USB port for power, charging, and firmware upgrade add to its functionality.
The SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount Full Package also includes a DEC mounting bracket, counterweight and CW shaft, and a Vixen dovetail saddle for scope mounting. The redesigned mount head is compact and precision-engineered for silent tracking and better precision. The built-in shutter triggering port and padded carry bag add to the convenience.
In summary, the SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount Full Package from iOptron is a versatile, reliable, and user-friendly tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.
