*For the Skywatcher Star Adventurer, when properly installed, Quick Polar Finder will not be perfectly aligned with the polar scope. This is normal and it's been tested that the laser beam will go straight through the polar scope, thus not affecting polar alignment.

Makes polar alignment easy.
I received my package in good working order. Thank you.
Not good communicators. I am going to have to dispute it with the CC Company
The principal of this little gadget is so simple but so perfect and will cut your polar alignment time significantly. Just make sure there are no planes in the area.
Have used this a few times now out in the field. Attaches to the Ioptron Skyguider Pro easily and has placed the polar scope very close to Polaris with just small adjustments required. This item has made polar alignment very easy and can now be completed very accurately within a couple of minutes.
My MSM Nomad is the perfect size rotator to carry in my camera bag. It's so light and compact that I don't even know it's there. I have used the Nomad several times. It is very easy to align to Polaris here in the Northern Hemisphere. The battery lasts a full night's shoot and can handle some nice size wide angle lens. All in all, for the money, I am very satisfied with my Nomad.
Ich verwende das Laser-Kit sowohl mit dem Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i als auch mit der EQ6R Pro. Das grobe Einnorden funktioniert dank des hellgrünlichen Laserstrahls, der durch den Polsucher gesendet wird, sehr gut. Die Feinjustierung erfolgt im Anschluss.
Der Polsucher, der in den Star Adventurer 2i integriert ist, hat nur ein kleines Sichtfeld, was das Auffinden des Polarsterns erschwert. Durch den Laserstrahl kann die Montierung jedoch schnell und präzise auf den Polarstern ausgerichtet werden.
Es ist wichtig, den Laserpointer mit äußerster Vorsicht zu handhaben und die Sicherheitsbestimmungen zu beachten, da sonst Augenschäden drohen können. Dies sollte jedoch für uns Astrofotografen kein Problem darstellen, da wir sehr sorgsam mit unserer Ausrüstung umgehen. Dennoch gehört der Laserpointer nicht in Kinderhände.
Die Lieferung aus China dauerte zwar ein paar Tage, aber das Paket war kurzzeitig bei DHL in Deutschland nicht auffindbar, was zu einer Verzögerung führte. Es ist bemerkenswert, dass das Laserkit um den halben Erdball geschickt wurde und kurz vor dem Ziel auf dieses Problem gestoßen ist. Dennoch kam es unbeschadet an.
All 3 work better than expected. My polar alignment and pin pointing my dso takes seconds. It's never been faster, or easier. I start with my laser pointer. It slips on my polar scope precisely every time. Once I point at Polaris, I slip it off and slip on the right angle viewer. Everytime Polaris is clearly in the reticle. With a little fine tuning of the adjustment screws, Polaris and the polar clock are perfectly aligned. I am able to do everything with my camera already mounted. To find my dso, I use the laser and the Universal Mount Combo. I slide the combination into my camera hot shoe, point it at the dso, and my object is clearly in my lens....so easy and fast. Thanks team, you've made the hardest part so much more enjoyable.
I used the laser, polar alignment March 17th to take 150 pictures of the waxing gibbons moon.
This is awesome for an old feller like me with a busted up back and knees, who doesn’t like to bend down too much. Especially trying to look through that little eyepiece on the polar alignment scope on my star adventurer 2I trying to get close to Polaris.
With this little laser and adapter I can get super close and just have to bend down for final spot on adjustment.
Super quick and easy. Love it.
Thank you MSM.
