A Polar Alignment Tool

Choose the alignment tool that works best for your location.

Laser: For the Northern Hemisphere when Polaris is visible and laser use is permitted
Phone Mount: Works in either hemisphere and is ideal when Polaris is obstructed or laser use is restricted.

FAQs

Yes, the NOMAD is fully compatible with all DSLR and mirrorless cameras

Absolutely. We offer specific bundles optimized for Southern Hemisphere users.
NOMAD Phone Kit and Richard's Astro Kit are specifically designed to make polar alignment seamless south of the equator.

Yes, the NOMAD features an Arca-Swiss dovetail with a built-in safety stop screw and a standard 1/4" threaded hole for broader compatibility.

The NOMAD star tracker has a maximum payload capacity of 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg). This makes it robust enough to easily handle most standard camera bodies paired with wide-to-telephoto lenses.

Many users can have sharp images even with 200mm to 300mm, but we would say MSM usually gives the best performance with lenses below 200mm.

If you plan to shoot globally, we highly recommend using a smartphone for polar alignment, as it works seamlessly in both hemispheres. The MSM Phone Mount kit
is an excellent, budget-friendly option if you already own a ball head. If you need a complete, travel-ready setup, Full Kit Richard Astro Kit is our top recommendation.
