Coming off of my EQ6-r, I was able to get this bad boy set up pretty easily. Only caveat I have is to ensure you have a sturdy tripod. I have one that is a bit light and, as expected, experienced some shift/creeping in situ. This said, during a very quick optest (full moon), I was able to EASILY get 1 minute subs. Once I get a sturdier mount, I fully expect I’ll easily be able to get 2-3 minute subs. As it stands, I recommend this product. (I have the laser for polar aligning, but do believe polar finder would be worthwhile to get for more accuracy as multiple you tube videos point out).

Really surprised the good results using NOMAD tracker, just using the laser pointer to Polaris star, switch on the unit and start shooting bulb images of even 6 minutes exposure long and the starts are still really defined.

Very pleased with quality of product & customer service.

After using a clunky iOptron sky tracker for 5+ years, I bought a MSM Nomad when the iOptron broke. The Nomad device worked flawlessly, and for its size, performed amazing. I was shooting 4 minute exposures with pin point stars. The little Nomad really clamps down on the mount point giving confidence nothing will slip. Loved the associated laser pointer I got with it. Made Polaris alignment super simple. I used the tracker once since I got it, June 2024, and looking forward to going out in August to shoot some vertical MW images with it.

I have had the MSN Nomad for a few weeks and I can only say good things about it. This start tracker is lightweight, simple and easy to use. In combination with the laser, it makes polar alignment very quick and simple. And you can track the stars at least for 2 minutes without any star trailing. I don't think you can ask for anything else when you are under the stars.

Very easy to use with clear instructions and videos on YouTube. Purchased with the laser pointer and polar scope which makes alignment so easy. I’m still learning how to get the best pictures but even the first ones I have are far better than trying to get shots without it.
Would recommend this to anyone wanting to get great star and astro shots.

Todo el pedido llegó sin problemas, me gusta el Nomad, excelente y maniobrable, buen sky tracker, mi unica duda es con el filtro para enfocar las estrellas, no se si me llegó lo solicitado, ya que pedí el que sirve para lentes anchos y no he podido enfocar bien las estellas con el filtro

I’ve enjoyed using this tracker because of its simplicity. The laser system makes polar alignment fairly simple, and having a simple on and off switch on the tracker gets you up and running quickly, unlike some other trackers that seem too dependent on a cellphone app and a Bluetooth connection. Now if the weather would just cooperate, I could do some more night sky photography!

After trying, I have decided to stick with my AZ-gti mount. Heavier, but I prefer it for my astrophotography needs.
