    A thank you note

    Hi friends! Thanks to Gerry Mulligan, an MSM tracker user, who shared his story in Move Shoot Move Facebook group about the inconvenience of polar alignment, which is especially true for night sky veterans, we were able to hear such a great idea and work on it. Thank you, Gerry!

    It may need more polishing along the way, but we can't wait to see how it can help people polar align their trackers. So we are bringing it online for pre-order today!

      Back Saver - Right Angle Viewfinder for Polarscope

      Awesome!

      I have lower back issues, and crawling down to align my star tracker through the built-in scope was a real challenge at times. The MSM right angle view finder let me polar align my tracker so much more easily -- me and my back are much happier! The finder is easy to use and the focus works smoothly.

      Right Angle Viewfinder for Polarscope

      Works well, reasonable price. And a must for a polar scope when you are north of latitude 60 degrees.

      Right angle finder

      I have not had many opportunities to use it yet but it works as described once you get it positioned right. I’m using it on Skywatcher mounts with internal polariscopes. For my backyard setup I don’t really need it, it’s easier to just sit down below the mount than fiddle with getting the angle finder positioned right, maybe a parallax issue and I wear glasses - but the 2x magnifier is very useful for more critical polar circle alignment. Perhaps in different environments where getting down on the ground would be a problem then the right angle will be more useful to me.

      Neck and back saver

      The polar scope has taken the hard work out of polar alignment for me. It’s easy to use and saves me getting neck and back pain from squatting down and looking up in awkward positions. The luminous component to light up the reticle works well too. An added bonus is that you can use the right angled viewer on your camera eyepiece too using one of the supplied eyepiece adaptors.

      Use of Right-Angle viewfinder for Ioptron SkyGuider Pro polar alignment scope

      I bought this item as an addition to the laser pointer I attach to the polar-alignment scope on my new Ioptron Sky Guider Pro.

      I used the camera tracker to image Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) with an unmodded Canon 6D (full frame DSLR) with a Canon 70-200mm L-series zoom lens set at f/2.8, 200mm ISO 1600 (images submitted to Spaceweather.com’s Gallery pages).

      The laser pointer and the right-angle viewfinder are great MSM products that saved me a lot of time and frustration. One of my pics even landed on the front page of our local newspaper!

      Right Angle Viewfinder

      This viewfinder easily attaches to the polar scope and allows you to take a regular posture and look downward into the scope rather than having to crouch uncomfortably low and look upward.

      Right angle viewer for polarscope - a product long overdue

      The right angle viewer and nylon connecter is a long overdue product with multiple advantages. First, it saves the user from having to stoop to look through the polarscope during celestial alighment. Second, the height of the tripod can be lowered since the user is now looking down into the polorscope. This helps to further stabilize the tripod against wind. The viewer is a nice addition to the MSM package.
