Nothing displays this trait better than a long exposure photo of the Milky Way or a deep sky nebula. The monumental difference that a “ star tracker” makes in your astrophotography will be experienced after the very first exposure is taken. No longer do stars begin to trail after 20 seconds, and a new level of detail and clarity can be achieved.
Below, you’ll see images captured using the SkyGuider including the Carina Nebula, and the Milky Way. The iOptron SkyGuider Pro is a very versatile and portable astrophotography solution for both camera lenses and small telescopes. The problem is, these EQ mounts can be heavy and obtrusive, making them spend more time indoors than under the stars. And thus, we enter the realm of the new highly-portable tracking mounts like the iOptron SkyGuider Pro. To combat this, amateur astrophotographers counteract the rotation of the Earth using a tracking equatorial mount. Depending on your camera’s focal length, the stars could begin to trail even sooner.
On a stationary tripod mount, star trailing begins to show in exposures longer than 25 seconds. The SkyGuider Pro makes shooting long exposure nightscapes without star-trailing possible. The iOptron SkyGuider Pro is a portable EQ mount that offers a reliable solution for astrophotography on the go.
