Mulitple Pre-Programmed Speeds for Tracking and Time-Lapse Photography Multiple preprogramed speeds, including sidereal, solar, lunar, as well as four additional speeds for time-lapse photography and nightscapes, including 0.5x, 2x, 4x and 12x. Time-Lapse, Snap Port, Auto Guider Port, DC Power Input With several exposure presets, the Star Adventurer triggers the DSLR using the auxiliary shutter release cable. For photographers seeking perfectly round stars, the mount also comes equipped with a standard ST-4 port, allowing users to connect an autoguider for additional tracking accuracy. Star Adventurer, tracking mount, nightscape, eclipse The Importance of Polar Alignment in Nightscape Photography The Importance of Polar Alignment in Nightscape Photography For the best results, the Star Adventurer must be polar aligned before you start shooting. To do so, set your corresponding latitude on the base, identify Polaris and align it in the included polar scope. Once aligned, the Star Adventurer's tracking will counter the Earth's rotation accurately. Why Use a Star Tracker? Star trackers correct for the Earth's rotation, allowing you to shoot longer exposures and capture greater detail without star trails. Without a tracker, DSLRs can only capture 15 second exposures before the Earth's rotation make stars appear blurry. But by integrating the Star Adventurer into any standard photo tripod, you can increase exposure times from 15 seconds to several minutes, allowing users to capture greater detail in the Milky Way with less grain or noise in their images, due to a lower ISO. Shoot longer exposures, from 15 seconds to several minutes! Capture greater detail in the Milky Way, as well as other celestial objects Lower ISO = Less Grain!
