*For the Skywatcher Star Adventurer, when properly installed, Quick Polar Finder will not be perfectly aligned with the polar scope. This is normal and it's been tested that the laser beam will go straight through the polar scope, thus not affecting polar alignment.
This laser makes polar aligning so much easier! The green laser is much more visible then expected. All you do for aligning is point it at Polaris and it’s done in seconds. I’ve used this for wide-field Milky Way photos. If precision is needed you can easily remove it after it gets you in the zone and tweak it using the traditional thru the eyepiece method.
Polar aligning my Skyguider Pro has been an issue for me. I have difficulty getting Polaris in the reticle in skies that are too bright as well as in much darker sites as there are too many stars that become confusing. I decided to give the Laser Kit a try to see how it might help.
The laser and provided threaded adapter were very easy to attach to the SGP. I went out on the 1st clear night to give it a try. The laser was very visible and I was able to very quickly align to Polaris. For this 1st trial, I did not go any further and just accepted this alignment. I then did 30 2 minute exposures with my Canon R6 M2 camera and a 50mm f/1.8 lens. I shot the Dark Horse region of the Milky Way as a test. The stars at the 2 minute exposures were very sharp. Next time I’ll try pushing the exposure time higher…
This has really improved the time to align as well as increasing my confidence level. The $$ spent on this were well worth it to me!
I have purchased the kit because I find it cumbersome to polar align through the polar scope.
This is much easier and faster to do with the laser kit
I bought both the laser and the right angle viewer. Polar alignment takes me about 5 mins now! Absolute game changer for me!
This was a great help in ensuring proper tracker alignment
So helpfull to align the tracker!
Nice idea but found laser not properly adjusted. Proved very difficult to adjust and align in tube. Still not successfully aligned and not satisfied with result. Also no instructions included.
Your laser kit has been amazing and a lot easier for me to find Polaris. Thanks again for a wonderful product.
The laser can be mounted easy on SkyWatcher StarAdventurer and allows polar alignement within less than a minute
takes a long time to be shipped
