Initially I had doubts about how well this small Nomad tracker and wedge would achieve and maintain polar alignment accuracy, using just my PS Align Pro app, no laser, no polar scope. I used the ‘southern hemisphere’ method with the Nomad tracker and wedge, and a sturdy tripod. I setup a full frame camera, hefty prime lens, fairly heavy RRS ball head with a panoramic rotator and z plate. I do have several years of experience in polar aligning, using polar scopes, with and without lasers on heavier, more complex trackers. I would sometimes dread dealing with low light scopes and the often tedious process of guiding the wedge to pinpoint Polaris on the reticle. The Nomad southern hemisphere setup, along with PS Align Pro app has set me free! In a few short minutes I am taking test shots. And alignment holds through the entire shoot. After more than 90 minutes tracking, I put on a 50mm for 2 minute exposures and still had pinpoint stars. Easy to pack, quick to set up, align, and maintain alignment, what’s not exciting about that. I’m not ready to sell my heavier tracking gear but having this lighter option has been a welcomed addition.
