iOptron SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount with Polar Scope

Quality product at an excellent price. There is a learning curve and I am just getting on it. Looking forward to my first dark sky outing. Manual is not as detailed as I would like but there is plenty of online guidance.

Star Trail Preventer

A must have it you are shooting astrophotography. I had a chance to use it on a recent trip to the mountains and dark skies. Once set up it worked perfectly shooting night skies; no star trails! It allows long exposures without star trails. Luv it!!

Great product for beginner astrophotographers!

Great package! Sturdy easy to use product. Watch on line videos to really get the gist of how to use it. Make sure you are fully charged for use on cold nights. Highly recommended for first time astrophotographers. Adorama service was great. Packages arrived well padded and very timely.

There is some play in the main rotation axis

After a few trials I have come to realized that there is some play in the main axis. This has mainly two implications. First, it is hard to align the camera perfectly. Secondly and more importantly, the camera moves by a few degrees at some point during the session. As a result all the photos taken after have to be thrown away.

Works well so far.

Really nice device, esp. for the price. Not the easiest to set up, I wish they had better documentation, but overall, for the price, I think this is the best tracker on the market.

The ioptron work great

I used the tracker for the eclipse and it worked great. I am planning to do stars on my Montana trip next month.

It works for both starlit landscapes and the eclipse

I got this for the eclipse and having it and an intervalometer meant that I could watch the eclipse and get my photos with minimal interaction with the camera. Also, I did some nice astrophotography with an ultra wide, showing the stars reflected in a lake with a mountain in the background (a little Photoshop was needed to make the landscape part as crisp as the sky). The 1/2 star setting is worthless. Just use the star setting, take lots of photos for exposure stacking, then shoot the same number of photos of the landscape with the SkyTracker motor off, and combine the two. Super easy and super beautiful. You MUST use the corresponding app in order to get it aligned if Polaris isn't visible.

Great product and experience with Adorama

Not many had this in stock since it was newly released but Adorama did with free express shipping. Unit arrived missing a bolt and Adorama took care of me. Had my new unit by the weekend so I could go do an imaging session. Smaller and quieter than the original Sky tracker .... over all very nice and highly recommended!

The SkyTracker Pro is equipped with an improved precision polar scope, featuring a finely engraved reticule and adjustable illumination with eight brightness levels. This feature, combined with the iOptron smartphone app, makes quick and accurate polar alignment a breeze.

The device offers four tracking rates: 1X or sidereal for imaging the sky and stars, 1/2X for capturing both the starry night and the landscape simultaneously, and solar and lunar rates. These tracking rates are functional in both the northern and southern hemispheres, making the SkyTracker Pro a versatile tool for photographers worldwide.
