The Richard Tatti kit is an excellent choice for anyone starting out in MW photography (like me). The MSM tracker itself is really easy to use and unbelievably lightweight and very portable.
The additional kit is all nicely machined and feels solid. Alignment using Sky Safari is very easy once you’ve got the hang of it. I’m in the northern hemisphere but have been aligning to the Southern celestial pole as it is easier when using the supplied phone holder. My only criticism would be that the phone holder could have a wider back to it to help ensure that the phone is sitting perfectly flat on the holder.
I was little sceptical at first about aligning before attaching the tracker to the wedge. However this works well for me and it is best not to have the tracker anywhere near your phone when aligning as it really can impact the compass. The same goes for wearing a smart watch. However, with those in mind the alignment achieved is more than good enough for decent exposure times using anywhere between 14 and 35mm lenses. I’ve not yet tried longer lenses but I’m pretty confident that going longer wouldn’t be an issue.
Overall, this kit was everything that I needed to get started apart from maybe a levelling base… oh and some clear skies!
ein toller und gut vearbeiteter Tracker mit viel passendem Zubehör. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.
Hat alles Super funktioniert. Gerne wieder.
Received item fairly quickly and very well packaged. I’m very impressed with the full kit and it’s excellent build quality. The kit was well priced for the amount of items included and the ease of putting it to use. I highly recommend this kit for anyone in the southern hemisphere.
