Easy to set up, sharp stars with 4 min exposures!

Setup was a super easy. Laser pointer makes polar alignment a snap! High humidity, rain and clouds are making picture taking difficult, but the tracker seems to be functioning great.

I have not used my MSM yet due to bad weather. But so far I can say it is light weight, easy to use (tested indoors only) and seems to be well made. As soon as I have tried it out correctly I will edit/write a full review.

All of my time has been spent watching the various tutorials, a necessary process as the instruction booklet is a waste of paper.. The biggest issue I've had so far is finding a clear sky at the right time. English weather and city light pollution has been my bugbear. However locating the north star and lining up the laser pointer was very easy and my stars have been pinpoints.. The one remaining issue I have now is what the other buttons do ? when do you use them , why do you use them, why would you 1/2 star track? or even slower, you provide these but give no reason for such a facility. Overall for a beginner with a cheap 20mm lens mounted on a Sony A92 I'm enjoying the process and very pleased with my purchase.

So portable and easy to set up. I used it only for a few nights during my travels and it worked like a charm.

Wow...! What an introduction to long exposure astrophotography, Absolutely amazing piece of kit and so small, it fits in my back pack with my Canon R6 16mm 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and my 70-200 f2.8, love it and soo easy to align with the laser pointer. Roll on the long winter dark skies. Highly recommended.

I'm absolutely in love with the MSM tracker, I'm using it only with 20mm and 14mm lenses, however, had a go with a 50mm lens, using the laser only and got super sharp images with 4min exposure! Incredible what the little and light rotator can do!

I used it for the Milky Way August 11 and it did a great job.

Never having used anything like this, I was dubious about purchasing a Star Tracker as they seem so expensive and Astro isn't something that I do a lot of.

I bit the bullet and purchased the MSM Rotator with the Laser Point and the Wedge and also purchased the Star Focus Filter.

I've used it a couple of times now and setting up to Polaris is really easy with the Laser Pointer. The Wedge is a little temperamental in my opinion. Yes it works well, but when you tightening it up, it moves slightly. it's not an issue if you remember to counter the movement before tightening.

The Star Focus Filter is great too, although the Live View on my Camera isn't as good as I'd like it to be and I've ended up focusing on a distant light. However, once focused, I tape the lens and I'm good to go.

Using the Rotator, I've shoot several 8 minute exposures using ISO 100 and f2.8 and they all look sharp to me.

I've just ordered the Z and V Brackets and will use those in future without the Wedge.

All in all, I'm really impressed and it has spurred me on to keep shooting Astro

Super easy setup, and polar alignment, with the laser and my wide angle lens. I've only used my move shoot move once, but after the maiden voyage I feel really good about it. I tested it with 1, 2, 3 and 4 minute exposures and had sharp, crisp images of the milky way with low ISO. I'm excited to really put this thing to use to help me capture incredible images of the night sky!
