Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack (Mount with Wedge, DEC unit, polarscope illumination, counterweight, short ballhead adaptor)
Updated with the addition of a WiFi module that allows you to control the mount on your smartphone using their SynScan app, the Sky-Watcher USA Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack gives you a complete rig for wide-field astrophotography with a DSLR or for astronomy with smaller optical tube assemblies (OTAs). The Pro Pack combines their tracking head with popular accessories, so you can start shooting or observing right out of the box. Accessories include an equatorial wedge for accurate long-duration single-axis tracking without field rotation, a counterweight kit to properly balance your loads, the declination bracket, and the ball head adapter. All you need is a tripod, camera, and/or OTA and you're ready to go out and enjoy the wonders of the universe.
