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!
