Product Information
Overview
In order for any star tracker to work the way it's designed, polar alignment has to be done in the first place. It is the act of aligning the rotation axis of a star tracker in parallel with Earth's self-spin axis. How do you know when your Move Shoot Move Star Tracker's rotation axis is aligned? Well, the Polar Scope we have here does just that!

Wunderbar leichtes Gerät für die Sternenfotografie.
I have used my MSM several times in the field and I am delighted with the results I have obtained with it. The instructions come with hints on how to test your MSM before trying it out in the field and I consider that time well worth spent. I now use my MSM to pohtograph constellations and some deep sky objects. It takes little practice to lean how ot set up, calibrate, and run a set of photographic sequences. The laser pointer is simple to point to Polaris and holds its alignment very well for whots of up to a minute (I have not tried longer yet). I have had success with a Samyang 14mm and a Sigma 50mm Art lens. I will be pushing the boundaries of this little star tracker with longer exposure times and a Samyang 135mm lens. The MSM came well packed, ready to go, and I have not had any trouble with it yet. My main niggle is, that the instructions are rather difficult to make sense of - though it is worth the time and effort to read. Additionally, the laser pointer I received does not see to want to be properly calibrated - it is off center after adjustment. While this has not been a problem with wide field photography, I am concerned about using the 135mm lens as it is. Despite all of that, I heartily recommend the MSM. It is a more than capable travel star tracker and will remain in my collection indefinitely for those grab-and-go moments.
Polar scope replaced by MSM very swiftley (thankyou MSM). Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to use yet due to usual problems with weather in UK.
producto muy adecuado a mis pretenciones y sobre todo el trato exquisito de todos los que componen la empresa muchas gracias por todo los que estan hay siempre al servicio y a resorver todas las cuestiones y dudas.

With the Polar Scope, polar alignment is much more accurate and helps me taking longer exposure with my tracker. highly recommended.
I had heard polar alignment was difficult, putting the right angle adapter on it makes it a breeze. I’ve had 3 minute exposures with no star trails and perfect alignment within 90 seconds
For my photography MSM is great addition and mist have fie the start with astrophotography
I love my new polar scope. Even when not calibrated, this little gizmo allowed me to do precise polar allignment on 200-300 mm focal lenght. With help of Polar clock app, polar allignment is super easy.
Do not forget to buy angle viewfinder.
