Why Use a Star Tracker?
Star trackers correct for the Earth's rotation, allowing you to shoot longer exposures and capture greater detail without star trails.
Without a tracker, DSLRs can only capture 15 second exposures before the Earth's rotation make stars appear blurry. But by integrating the Star Adventurer into any standard photo tripod, you can increase exposure times from 15 seconds to several minutes, allowing users to capture greater detail in the Milky Way with less grain or noise in their images, due to a lower ISO.
Shoot longer exposures, from 15 seconds to several minutes!
