I ordered my tracker with the pointer, but the pointer arrived faulty—the screws were stripped so I couldn’t align it. I reached out to MSM support with a quick video showing the issue, and in less than a week I had a brand new pointer at home. Not every company handles things this smoothly, and that’s why I feel really confident sticking with MSM
I recently did a Milky Way shoot with a new MSM tracker (with wedge). Note- You also need a small ballhead on top of the unit so it is a three piece device, with the tracker in the middle. The key is the laser pointer, it takes 30 seconds to line it up on Polaris and you are good to go. I took 3 minutes shots of the Milky Way and was able to get pin point stars. I can not comment on deep sky tracking with a long lens, but it is a good, simple solution for extended exposure Milky Way shots.
I am using the Polar Alignment pointer and its adaptor attached to the back of the Polar Scope of my iOptron SkyTracker Pro.
I get a good alignment on Polaris, and I think it’s easier to use than the Polar Scope.
I recently upgraded to the Nomad tracker from the original Move Shoot Move tracker. Having (finally) had the chance to use the Nomad and the polar alignment pointer, I can confidently say the combination is light years ahead (!) of the original pairing. The Nomad is so easy to use, one switch for North or South and away to go. It's compact, lightweight, has a very secure attachment system = easy to set up - and quiet. Add the pointer to the Nomad body and polar alignment is simple. I was able to keep the pointer attached and only had to swivel my camera slightly to give the laser a clean line to polaris. Highly recommend both.
Fast to setup. Accurate tracking.
Works fine for Polar aligning, good visibility in the suburban night sky.
Ich bin dabei, den Laser bei einer Bresser Fotomontierung zu adaptieren. Der Laser sowie die Adapter sind von sehr hoher Qualität. Die Lieferung war wie angekündigt schnell. Der Kontakt zu Move Shoot Mover war sehr nett. Ich kann diese Produkte sowie den Shop üneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Item came as described and you can even use non rechargeable batteries. I purchased this item as a back up to my original.
If you're new to taking night sky photos or even if you're a seasoned veteran, the Nomad by MSM is simple and easy to use and it just works great. No muss or fuss, just follow a few simple steps and start taking night sky shots. And to make things better, MSM is just as easy to work with. Great service and prompt communication is hard to beat.
The MSM is very light to pack and carry, simple to set up and very easy to align with the laser pointer. I was up and running in 15 minutes. It worked very well on the first try.
