[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 740220, member: 48483"] I bought a SkyWatcher AZ-GTi last December and updated it with the alternate firmware to work in Equitorial mode. With the additional Sky-Adventurer hardware required to mount a camera and angle it right I've been pleasantly surprised by how well it tracks. I don't push the exposures past 1 minute because polar aligning is not that precise. But getting those 40-45 second exposures makes a difference even when you stack.

Taken with D7000 + 150-600mm on a normal tripod. Very short exposure. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342830._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
