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
This makes quick work of polar alignment on my Star Adventurer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking to streamline their setup.
Everything works as expected. The Nomad is much easier to operate than its predecessor and offers excellent results for its category. My only complaint is about the Polar Scope A Kit for Nomad. I cannot offer an opinion because I have been unable to operate it as I cannot make sense of the image! (Image included) Is it too much to ask for a video or a small PDF clarifying how it is supposed to use it? Do you get the idea? I really hope so!
I don't know how I got by without this device. It has made my life so much easier aligning on Polaris. Gone is the sore knees and the stiff neck that used to haunt me. Do yourself a favor and purchase this and reap the same benefits that I have now become so used to.
Love the size of tracker. Timelapse’s are a cinch. I use the laser to get close then zero in with Polar Scope. I just use laser if using my 20mm lens and Polar Scope when using 85mm plus. Works like a charm! Tracker has only sidereal option but during 3 hr eclipse only had to readjust tracker twice. Very happy with it.
The new Nomad tracker is a big step forward. Smaller, stronger and more reliable . Highly recommended.
Polar scope and the reticular pattern are great. I am able to polar-align in minutes. in areas with low intermediate light pollution using the laser along with the polar scope make things a lot easier. The fluorescent eliminator make things extremely easy in the dark. I am new to this hobby. This is the second stacked picture I took, a otal of 28 pictures of 45 sseconds each. I wish I ccould have taken more but the clouds covered the sky soon after. I used a Canon t3i with an EF 100-300 lens.
Very well made . Thanks Very Much
I’ve been able to achieve accurate polar alignment with the MSM Polarscope doing deep sky shots resulting in 60+ second exposures with no star tracking.
I did do a calibration since it was a little off when I received it but that was a simple process.
The Illuminator is very effective. I simply keep a small flashlight in my pocket and very briefly expose the illuminator to the light before use. No wires or batteries involved.
When used with a polar alignment app on the phone, achieving a perfect alignment is quick and easy.
I highly recommend this product.
I broke my polar scope light. Hannah was great at sorting everything out and making sure I got the right items
The order shipped quickly and was received in a timely manner
I always find the company responsive and they are very helpful with any queries
The simplicity of the Nomade and sturdy structure are the strong points which opens up the stars and a universe of potential adventure creative photography.
I do hope some type of manual will be created to help novices answer questions that may arise.
