Star Tracker For Mirrorless Camera

Great little gift item to come with the star tracker

Hooked this up to my Sony A7iii while it was mounted on my Star Adventurer star tracker. To bring down the noise and bring up the deep space detail you gotta stack, so I set this up to take continuous 2 minute exposures over the course of an hour. There really is no other way you can use a star tracker without one of these... you’ll be in bulb mode and this is such an effortless way to pretime bulb shots and take a series of them to stack.

I was looking for a way to connect my Nikon D7200 to my star tracker (Star Adventurer GTI) for astrophotography shots. This is the perfect solution. It is the right length and completes my set up. I appreciate that B& H Photo provide compatibility information for their products. It made finding this easy.

I was looking for a shutter release cable between my Canon 1200D and my star tracker mount so I could control the camera through the mount's app. I was quickly directed to this cable and it fits both my camera and mount perfectly and works like a charm! Nice length with enough slack to allow for a full range of motion without any significant tension. I definitely recommend.

I saw this recommended to fit between my Move Shoot Move star tracker and the ballhead under my camera body. It solves the problem of the ballhead directly on the MSM coming loose as it rotates throughout the evening. I use the set screws on the undreside of the QS-50 to get a tighter connection on the MSM. So far I have been using it to do longer sub frames and for up to two hours without any problems.

I had another brand of star tracker that my toddler got her hands on so this was its replacement. The polar alignment camera with this setup is amazing. All my subs are spot on from one to another which I had difficulty attaining with the alignment scope my other tracker had for polar alignment. I'm using a DSLR and a 135mm lens. Pros: Small size for easy transport. Polar camera makes polar alignment very accurate and easy. Tracks like you would expect it to. Built in chargeable battery. Cons: No way to control camera shutter without an additional hand controller which is sold separately. You'll need an intervalometer if your camera can't do multiple long exposures by itself.

I love the Slik ECH-630 compact star tracker because you can take it anywhere and it fits in my camera bags perfectly and does not take up a lot of space like my other larger trackers. The quality of the product is excellent and is solidly built. I have used this for multiple time-lapse and milky way shots even during the last solar eclipse. one of the best features is being able to connect an external USB battery pack and it gives you days instead of just 20 hours. The only issue I have with this star tracker is the alignment using just the 2 visual ports on the device but I have a solution for that and purchased a green bore laser and can now polar align perfectly. I highly recommend this and also the SLIK SMH-250.

I specifically needed a dovetail plate to a attach my camera to a star tracker. B&H had two listed on their website, but one was back ordered so I bought this one. So far so good. It is solid and sturdy and provides options for placement of camera on it.

I use this on my star tracker to allow panos. It is light weight and very secure. I have used other that are now in the trash. This one is a keeper!

This tripod is strong and light. It's sturdy enough for me to use with a star tracker. Very happy with it.
