Pointeur pour alignement polaire

I upgraded to the Nomad from my original MSM tracker because my current camera was heavier than the previous one. I was in Scotland during a bad weather period with gale force winds and I suddenly got a half-hour window of opportunity to shoot the Milkyway. I literally ran outside with my tripod, assembled the Nomad, got a very quick and rough laser alignment on the Pole star and then it disappeared behind a cloud. I pointed my camera at the target and set the Nomad working. I took ten shots and just one 15-second exposure was clear of clouds. It was perfect. Pin sharp stars and a good composition. I was delighted. Then we were hit by 70mph winds. The MSM Nomad system is quick, light and very easy to use. The speed that I could assemble it was the difference between getting the shot and failing. It tracked perfectly. I cannot wait now to be in a position to take my time in good conditions. If I can get the image I did in 15 seconds I cannot imaging how good it will be with a longer exposure. I cannot recommend this product system highly enough. I am not getting paid to say this, I genuinely am very impressed with it. I do a lot of astrophotography and this super-mobile unit is ideal for Milkyway shots. 5-stars from me.

Pointer for Polar Alignment

Always very helpful and courteous. Quality products and excellent customer support! 10+++++

I own the original Move Shoot Move tracker. This version is much better, easier to use and more accurate. Well done!

Pointer for Polar Alignment. My polar pointer laser was not in the center. So I have use force the get it in the center.. better now.. And it poor kvalitet

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.
