Advice on Star trackers


Recommended Posts

I have just learned about Star Trackers but I'm confused about the different varieties and what I would possibly need to take night time images.

I would appreciate any advice on a Star Tracker that would fit to a Manfrotto tripod, a Panasonic GH5 with a 100-400mm lens.

 

Cheers

If all you want to do is use a camera, then the two suggestions are fine, there are others out there too. You might want to consider a more rigid tripod, particularly if you use longer focal length lenses. 

If you wish to attach a scope to the camera, then you can get away with a small one with those mounts, but anything larger will need to move to a full equatorial mount.
