In this video I show step by step how to properly set up and align the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker to get precise tracking for both Milky Way and deep sky astrophotography. I share my star tracker best tips 2020. I explain how to set the correct azimuth and tilt, how to use the polar scope, how to find the North Star a.k.a Polaris on the night sky and how to balance the dovetail (declination bracket) on the tracker to get the best tracking results.
