Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack 475$ CAD

Is this a good deal and will it be able to support a future deep space setup like z61 and rebel t3? Will it support guiding?

[vocal prawn]

Not familiar with canadians market but yeah a z61 would work it's on the edge tho. You can add guiding on 1 axis since it has a motor on 1 axis

[mighty panther]

I bet you can find cheaper

Nvm that’s pretty good

[formal ingot]

it will probably support all of that.

[mighty panther]

def need guiding

i wouldnt go past 50mm but 60 is probs fine

[novel marlin]

Yeah all of that is for future my current setup doesn't need guiding. Will it support asi air?

Also they usually go for 700 cad here but this guy is 475 cad

[mighty panther]

what are you going to use asiair for if ur not even going to guide?

it doesnt but you can guide with it

i think...

ASI air can plate solve to find your target easier, live stacking, and many other functions. Also, your t3i should be supported (I've heard you need to plug it in before turning the ASI air on to ensure it recognizes it) and your star adventurer shouldnt need to be connected with the ASI air unless guiding.

T3

Not i

[dusky viper]

Still supported

Even my 450D is supported which I didn't expect

[mighty panther]

if your planning to upgrtade an asiair is a decent purchase

personally i would go mini pc but it saves a small headache for people not looking to think too much doing this hobby

[novel marlin]

I have an extra mini pc and laptop that I was planning to pick one or the other but I didn't know if Asiair was better.

[formal ingot]

Asiair is very simple, also you can connect it to your phone or tablet via wifi.

And i believe the Mini version has the feature sky atlas which makes framing images very easy.

[mighty panther]

asiair is for the people not looking to do much thikning

easier in the beginning to setup
