Ā Do I need theĀ laser pointer?
- If you are new to astrophotography, we recommend choosing the laser pointer to begin. It's easier to use than the polar alignment for novices.Ā
- If you mainly use a wide-angle lens, then theĀ laser pointer is enough and the most convenient for you.
So,
- If you are new and have a low budget, buyĀ the Basic kit BĀ to start
- If you want a ready to shoot Astro kit,Ā buy the Pro kit B.Ā
- If you are experienced,Ā you will understand how much you can benefit from the Rotator's portability and it's straight forward design.
Do I need to buy the Polar Scope?
- If you use a long lens, then the Polar ScopeĀ will provide a more accurate polar alignment.
- If you are from Australia, then buy theĀ Polar Scope as itĀ is prohibited in Australia to buy the laser pointer.
- If you might travel to Australia, Switzerland, or other locations that do not allow a laser pointer, then you will require a Polar Scope.
So,Ā
- If you live in Australia or Switzerland,Ā buyĀ Basic Kit AĀ to start
- If you just want a ready to shoot Astro kit for your DSLR,Ā buy the Pro-Kit A.Ā
- The Complete kitĀ is set up to support all the above options and is ready to go for all locations.Ā

The mechanism behind Move Shoot Move star tracker:
- The Earth is rotating.
- What happened?
- How toĀ expose more than 60 seconds?
- What's Polar alignment?
- Is your Polar alignment difficult and complicated?
- If you already know where to find Polaris, then just aim the laser at Polaris, and polar alignment is accomplishedš.
- If you don't know where to find Polaris, then download a free app, 'Skysafari,' set it to VR mode. It will spot Polaris when you move your phone around the sky.
- How to do a polar alignment in the Southern Hemisphere?
- If the star is tracked, will the foreground be blurred?
- First, we turn the tracker OFF to get a clear foreground shot(your composition).
- Then we wait for the ideal stars to show up in our composition, turn the track ON, and shoot the tracked stars. Then combine these two pictures to get the final one in Photoshop or other post-processing software.

"So simple to use
I purchased a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer awhile ago, and beside the weight, it was that complicated I just could not be bothered. Having received my MSM last week I went out with high hopes and it delivered. I did not purchase the polar scope or laser pointer, but used a couple of different apps on the phone and was able to take shots of more than 5 minutes with only small movement. Shots under 3 minutes were pin sharp.
Finally, the weight. So easy to just chuck it in the camera bag and take it anywhere. So glad I decided to purchase Move Shoot Move!!!"

Unit works as intended, only used a few times, still learning.
The device came to me on the scheduled date, but the front where the lights are was scratched. I lack a laser support screw to adjust it better. The quality is regular. The price is fine but I would bet on another more expensive one. The motor issue is very sensitive. When you load some weight without getting to the maximum... give in. I'm not too happy with him. I think they're riding them fast and badly.
Hi folks,
everything went fine with delivery.
Ii's a lot if fun with your products
Astrophotography isn't my main pursuit, but I do enjoy making nighttime landscapes when the opportunity allows. The MSM device was a reasonably priced tool that allows me to take long exposure night time sky images that can be blended with a landscape image captured at the same time. The one improvement I would make is to have the manual in larger print (make it a larger PDF on line) and provide a bit more detail on how to set the system up. I tried watching the videos, but actually found some other photographers tutorials easier to understand.
This tracker is incredible for its size, very easy to use, tracks amazing at 20mm and 50mm I have tested it even at 200mm (it is not made for this focal length) and it done an amazing job! 100% would recommend!
This changed the game for my astro shots of the Milky Way. I love how light it is, I love how easy it is to set up. I can get polar aligned, take my shots, and I can go to a new spot for more shooting. Incredibly easy. Once I watched a few tutorial videos a few times, I was able to get it. Peter and Alex do a fantastic job answering my questions with setup, use, and expectations. I know have the Z platform and the 'wedge for precise polar alignment'. Fantastic equipment. Looking forward to seeing what else I can do with this.
What an amazing little piece of kit. So small and compact it never leaves my camera bag. And the MSM team are fantastic to work with, with great customer service.
I primarily shoot wide angle Astro shots. The MSM is perfect size and easy to use. I have no problem taking with me wherever I plan to shoot.
