Description

Fooling around with my portable setup. Upgraded from sky adventurer to the Skywatcher AZ-GTi mount in equatorial mode. I put it on a williams optics high latitude equatorial base and my MeFoto Globetrotter tripod. Using the RedCat and ASI533 and OAG with a 120mini I've been putting it through its paces. I've been easily getting 3-5 minute subs without trailing. I pushed it to 10 minutes last night and the results were better than I could have ever imagined. I'm really impressed with the capabilities of this little mount and combining it with these optics and the ASIAIRpro just makes for such a frustration free and fun portable rig.
