SkyGuider Pro - Full Course
The iOptron SkyGuider Pro is a great star tracker for milky way photography, and with some effort it can also be used for deep space work. In this video I'll show my entire setup process, from the polar alignment, to balancing the counterweight, troubleshooting all the problems that pop-up throughout the night, and much more.
If you find yourself getting frustrated with the tracker, then I'd highly recommend upgrading to something like the AM5 or AM3. These go-to mounts will make your night much easier and allow you to actually enjoy your time under the stars.
