Star Adventurer 2i

[rdgr1952]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has the Star Adventurer Pro? I am having problems tracking the moon in Lunar mode. I am using my Nikon D5200 and the Nikon 200-500 telephoto lens with a 100mm teleconverter. I do the polar alignment and turn it on to Lunar mode. But it doesn't keep the moon in frame. I was thinking that maybe the weight is maxed out and it can't handle that big of a lens. I weighed my camera and lens and it is right at the top end of the workload. When I use a smaller lens and track in star mode it works fine. Anyone have any suggestions? I make sure it is balanced and the polar alignment is spot on. The tripod is level also. Please give me any suggestions. Thank you.
