We would like to share a review on Star Adventurer for your reference and
use:
SkyNews, 2014 Nov and Dec Issue. The review is done by Alan Dyer, a
seasoned astrophotographer in Canada.

Here are the highlights in the review:
- Great polar alignment. Reticle helps the procedure nicely in northern and
southern hemisphere
- EQ wedge easy to adjust, yet stable
- long battery life - 4 AA lasted for dozen nights of testing
- Great for wide angle (35mm - 50mm) astropoto, slight trailing with 135mm
(but other brands do the same), but can be corrected with Autoguiding
Overall - compact, well-built, versatile
