Reddit reviews Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Pro Pack – Motorized Dslr Night Sky Tracker Equatorial Mount for Portable Nightscapes, Time-Lapse and Panoramas – Remote Camera Control – Long Exposure Imaging

Got it. So you just focused on the same star for all 12 shots and then merged them afterwards. Is this what you got? The Pro Pack?

I highly recommend getting a field flattener, preferably the dedicated one made for the Z61.

The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Pro Pack is also quite cheaper than the Skyguider Pro: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Adventurer-Pro-Pack-S20512/dp/B07NY44782/ref=sr_1_1?crid=27MWYTFMO2GIS&keywords=star+adventurer+pro+pack&qid=1570919921&sprefix=star+adventurer%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-1

There are also other equivalent options to the Z61, that cost less, so you can use the savings to buy a field flattener:

Star trackers are not meant to be something you can grow into or upgrade. That's what a proper equatorial mount is for. Some people use them as their main imaging setup, and other people have it compliment their larger one, or use it in cases where it's not possible to bring a 20 kg mount with them on a trip.

L4) Check lucioghosty's Spam History, SnoopSnoo profile, and Atomiks Analyzer Profile !

L5) It is suggested that lenders take into account a user’s current open loans and repayment history when considering funding a loan. This includes a) do they have any repayment history? Extra vetting may be required if not, b) are they asking for loans while still having some out (this is not against the rules)? Are the open loans late? It is encouraged and courteous to contact current lenders to inquire about open loans, c) How much has a borrower repaid historically (in total) vs. how much do they have out now in total? "Piling", or lenders continuously providing loans to borrowers with many already open loans, is highly discouraged unless the borrower has a very solid repayment history

L6) Understand and properly use all LoansBot commands to mark loan status

L7) For your convenience, upon conclusion of this loan you can follow these links for prefilled posts regarding this loan - PAID, LATE, UNPAID

 

Here is a copy of the original post:

Hey Reddit,

I'm saving up for some equipment to get me started in astrophotgraphy, and the last thing I really need is a tracking mount. I have my eyes set on the SkyWatcher Star Adventurer Pro Pack Whch is currently $369 on Amazon(as opposed to $415 elsewhere). I've saved up $251.90, but that leaves me with just about $125 that I need to come up with. Between getting paid, freelancing, and donating plasma, I should have the $125 by July 31, but I always give myself a little extra time in case something happens. I'm looking to get this ASAP so that I can go out and start taking some photos within the next week.

If you look at my borrower history, you can see that I've borrowed way more and always paid back, never been late, etc. Every lender has said I'm one of the easiest people to work with!

Should you need it, I'll provide ID(censored, of course) and proof of address. Upon repayment, I'd like to do 20% interest which would be $25 for a total repayment of $150. Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions.
