The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Mount Head is a compact, fully motorized equatorial mount designed for serious astrophotographers and visual observers who need precision tracking in a lightweight, portable package. Whether you're capturing deep-sky images with a DSLR or guiding a short refractor under dark skies, the GTi delivers full GoTo functionality and rock-solid equatorial tracking in a mount head that fits in your backpack. Weighing just 5.7 pounds, this mount head offers an ideal balance of performance and portability. As a true equatorial mount—not a star tracker or hybrid alt-az/EQ system—the GTi is purpose-built for long-exposure imaging and accurate celestial tracking. With an 11 lb payload capacity, this mount head can comfortably carry DSLR or mirrorless camera setups, refractors up to ~80mm aperture, or compact imaging OTAs.
