Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack camera tracking mount
Star tracking mounts that are light and portable – which are suitable for cameras and small telescopes – have become popular in recent years. One of these is Sky-Watcher’s Star Adventurer tracking mount, which we reviewed in October 2014.

The latest incarnation has just been released, the Star Adventurer 2i Wi-fi Pro Pack, and we took it for a test on the few clear nights we had at our disposal.
The Star Adventurer 2i looks fresh and new in its white livery, which helps to make it more visible at night than the original metallic red version.

The Star Discovery P150i Wi-Fi comes in two boxes and is straightforward to assemble, allowing you to be up and running in 10 to 15 minutes.

The tube assembly is in one box while the tripod, single-arm mount, spreader tray and a box with the eyepieces, finder and bubble level is in the second.
It’s best to assemble the mount onto the tripod first and then to attach the telescope, before completing it with the red dot finder.
The mount is powered either by eight AA batteries installed in the side of the mount, or via a 12V power tank plugged into the power port.
