Head over to IOptron to see more, find instructions, user guides and YouTube assembly instructions BEFORE WE GET INTO THE REVIEW HERE IS SOME INFO AND TECH SPECS FOR THE SKY GUIDER PRO DIRECTLY FROM THE IOPTRON WEBSITE I think it will also remove some of the fear some have with how difficult it is to use a tracking mount. I am not a highly experienced astrophotographer, although I have been using mounts like this for a number of years, but I think this is what will make this review useful to those looking to add a star tracking mount to their kits to expand their capabilities. The following “review” is not an in depth technical review, more my thoughts on the iOptron SkyGuider Pro from my level of experience. Recently I had the opportunity to loan an iOptron SkyGuider Pro (and it’s baby brother the Skytracker Pro, review also coming) and have found some advantages to this mount that really suits my personal needs and have swapped completely over to this mount, I will be using this not only for my personal photography but I will be also using these for upcoming tracked astro photography workshops here in Gippsland, as I feel the features make this a great option for those new to this kind of photography. With milky-way, astro and night photography in general becoming more and more popular there is a lot of people looking at how to up their game, produce cleaner images, expand their opportunities with their current DSLR or Mirrorless cameras and capture some of the more accessible “deep space” objects, this is often when people start exploring star tracking mounts like the iOptron SkyGuider Pro I’ll be reviewing here.Ī while back I reviewed the Skywatcher Star Adventurer ( review here) and was using this as my main star tracking mount, it’s a great mount that has served me well and helped me to capture some fantastic images including an image that was part of a series that helped me win the photographer of the year “best themed series” a few years ago, a global award with some incredible contributors.
