ADVANCED FIRMWARE for Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer - convenient sidereal tracking, astro timelapse

Detailed video about how to install and use the Advanced Firmware for the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker. I talk about the new modes: astro timelapse and long exposure timelapse and also 5 configurable parameters that make the device even more useful and convenient when doing astrophotography. Now we can fully configure the exposure time and use the Star Adventurer to release the shutter via SNAP port so we no more need to use an external intervalometer. Also with the new firmware it can be used as a very powerful timelapse panning head! -------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE - new videos every week! -------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERES: 00:00 Intro 00:12 What's the new firmware and how to get it 01:28 Downloading and installing 03:51 Replacing the mode dial 07:48 New modes explained 13:42 Astro timelapse mode 17:05 Long and short exposure timelapse modes 19:05 Configuring 5 shooting parameters 26:04 Few things to be aware of 28:33 Conclusion OTHER VIDEOS OF MINE: ► https://youtu.be/Yg5D43Dc7yQ - new FREE astrophotography processing tool - SIRIL - for both Windows and Mac OS! ► https://youtu.be/Mn74BLfYGxs - Introducing My Adobe Lightroom presets for Milky Way photos ► https://youtu.be/O1PUoscwZqg - mind-blowing AUTOMATIC WAY TO BLEND images of the night sky taken with a tracker! ► https://youtu.be/OeqTTgDei7I - Polar alignment corrections WITH ROTATED RETICLE when already pointed at the target ► https://youtu.be/fh56hyGU8KM - How to find M31 - Andromeda Galaxy in the sky and how to pick the right camera settings ► https://youtu.be/X2jagTiDZ6k - Best ways to coarsely POLAR ALIGN an astro tracker without even looking through the scope ► https://youtu.be/41tkBPi2dpc - Sky-Watcher STAR ADVENTURER 2i review - is it worth the upgrade? ► https://youtu.be/-RalZ1vOX1I - Photographing the Milky Way with a star tracker - FULL VLOG IN THE FIELD ► https://youtu.be/e1XUamLt3fY - 4 useful TIPS to get the best out of a STAR TRACKER for deep sky astrophotography ► https://youtu.be/D-l_SSirq2E - How to find DEEP SKY OBJECTS in the night sky and frame them up using a star tracker ► https://youtu.be/ZeGMMoXBNMA - Best way to BLEND SKY exposure with GROUND shot for star tracker nightscapes ► https://youtu.be/-Foo95VXTpQ - Why STAR TRACKERS are such a game changer for astrophotography ► https://youtu.be/Zh6ttGBVcYg - The ultimate guide on how to properly set up and polar align SKY-WATCHER STAR ADVENTURER IMPORTANT LINKS: ► http://skywatcher.com/post/resource/star-adventurer-advanced-firmware/ - Advanced Firmware download page ► http://skywatcher.com/download/software/motor-control-firmware/ - software needed to update the firmware ► https://osxdaily.com/2015/03/25/install-run-windows-10-mac-virtualbox-os-x/ - how to run Windows for free legally on Mac OS GEAR I USE (links affiliated): ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/ZHZHUX - Canon EOS R (I 100% recommend this camera for people both into photography and filmmaking) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/CbHxKU - Sony a7s III (King of low-light filmmaking and photography) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/crFki - Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 MACRO STM (my go-to lens for YouTube videos, astrophotography and more!) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/D8nwS - Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM (underrated but excellent wide prime for vlogging and street or landscape photos) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/JV3H - Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM (excellent lens for moon photos, landscapes and deep sky astrophotography) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/BIlNzVk - Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer (astrophotography tracking mount) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/oJnDn3 - Gorillapod 3K PRO (best gorillapod ever - with aluminum sockets that don't break!) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/0NuB - Aputure MC (the best every tiny RGB LED video light with build-in battery ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/p9CINIu - Samsung T5 (excellent blazing fast, durable and tiny external SSD drive that I edit on) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/6XnpwVq - Benro IB0 ballhead (excellent cheap ballhead with friction control Arca Swiss standard - very precise and durable) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/vxB6 - Pixel TC-252 external interval timer (best bang for your buck!) ► (Amazon) https://geni.us/9u4y - Peli Air 1525 Pelican Case - MOST DURABLE CASE EVER for any camera gear GET IN TOUCH: ► Website & Shop: https://kamilpekala.com/ ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/kamil_pekala ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/kamilpekala ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kamilkp/ ► Email: [email protected] #staradventurer #astrophotography #timelapse
