The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i

After years of owning the 'now defunct' Meade ETX-90 Tabletop Mount Maksutov telescope with GoTo electronics, I decided to sell it and upgrade my gear. I never really used the electronics of the ETX-90 much. Mostly used the OTA which is great on shooting the Sun and Moon during eclipses. It's effective FL being 1250mm. Aperture is f/13.

This year 2025, a lot of comets sprung up. Most of them are faint and fuzzy and given the chance, my current setup will not be able to image them properly. Hence I decided to dispose the ETX and move to the Adventure 2i which is a very good entry level celestial tracking head.

My unit ordered from abroad arrived today. Consequently it started raining :D

It is a wi-fi enabled gear and will connect to the SkyWatcher app. Can't wait to try the features specially the Time Lapse function which can operate an attached DSLR via shutter cable.

Hope to post another update soon... while i'm in this new rabbit hole :D
