It is designed to transmit only the light of doubly ionized oxygen (O III) while blocking virtually everything else - the result is a dramatically increased contrast and visibility of objects that would otherwise blend into the background of the sky. How the OIII filter works Oxygen III emission occurs at two characteristic wavelengths - approximately 495.9 nm and 500.7 nm. These two spectral lines...	82 €

Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer MINI SAM - photography mount

Looking for a reliable travel companion for night sky photography? The Star Adventurer MINI SAM from Sky-Watcher is exactly what you need. This compact motorized mount was designed to open the door to the world of astrophotography, time-lapse sequences, and guided imaging - all in a surprisingly small and lightweight package that fits comfortably into a backpack.

Precision drive mechanism

At the heart of the device is a precision drive mechanism consisting of an 11 mm brass worm with a 32 mm duralumin worm wheel featuring 72 teeth. This combination of materials and dimensions ensures smooth and reliable tracking of the night sky without unwanted vibrations or irregularities - exactly what every astrophotographer appreciates during long exposures. The Star Adventurer MINI SAM photography mount handles a payload of up to 3 kg, so you can confidently attach even a heavier telephoto lens or a small telescope.

Mounting and compatibility

The mount attaches to a standard photography tripod via a 3/8″ or 1/4″ thread - an adapter is included in the package, so there is nothing extra to buy. On the telescope or camera side, you will find a standard Vixen/Celestron/Synta dovetail, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of accessories. A base for attaching a ball head or other photography equipment is also included, so setting up any configuration takes just a few minutes.

WiFi control and polar alignment

Controlling the mount via built-in WiFi is one of the greatest advantages of this device. Simply connect a smartphone or tablet - the app is available free of charge for both Android and iOS - and all settings are literally in the palm of your hand. No complex control panels or cables required. For accurate polar alignment, the integrated LED polar finder significantly simplifies the entire process even in the dark, far from civilization.

Power supply

The device is powered by two standard AA batteries, which last approximately 24 hours of continuous operation - more than enough to cover even the longest summer night. If you prefer to power it from a mains adapter or a power bank, a micro USB 5 V input is available. This flexibility in power supply is another reason why the Star Adventurer MINI SAM is such a popular companion on field trips.
