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!

Customer Reviews
Good stuff, no minus what so ever.
Maybe one thing, that I dident get the information about a new rotator was coming out. I had ofcourse bought that one instead.
But happy enought with mine anyway
It is a gift, so I cannot comment because I haven't opened it... birthday in December
Way more accurate than the laser
I wanted to start using a polar scope. So I order the bits required and started to use it. I found I could not get along with the Fluorescent Illuminator. Asking talking to Move Shot Move they suggested the old style Illuminator which I just love using. Happy Shooting
When I decided to try some longer focal length shots, I upgraded my setup to use the polar scope. Very happy with the alignment I can get.
Received Polar Scope and a number of accessories. They are of high quality, work as described, and they were shipped in a timely fashion. Great products and the site has so many great resources. Highly recommended.
Between the polar alignment laser for Star Adventurer 2i and the hot shoe adapter I can use to mount the laser on my Canon T7 and line up my shots. That's how I managed to get a picture of Mars and comet ZTF>
received the polar scope right angle viewer on time, great piece of equipment I can now do a polar alignment with out getting on my née
This product is definitely a step up from the shitty wire illuminator that came with the scope. However it would have been 20 x better if it was a button. Why would it be a twist mechanism? Only a child with tiny fingers would be able to operate it effectively. In the cold? Forget about it. Really needs to be changed to a button. Seriously. Easy fix. Fix it.
Bought the polar Scope Illuminator in the hope the device would illuminate polar field. After a few adjustments the product worked as advertised.
