Capture breathtaking, pinpoint-sharp night sky images with the MSM NOMAD star tracker. By counteracting Earth's rotation, this pocket-sized device completely eliminates star trails during long exposures. It is simple enough for beginners to set up in just minutes, yet reliable enough for advanced astrophotographers.

Ultra-Lightweight & Travel-Ready
Weighing a mere 430g, the NOMAD is the ultimate grab-and-go companion for your dark-sky adventures. Its compact, durable body slips effortlessly into any camera bag, allowing you to pack light and spend less time lugging heavy gear.

One Tracker, Four Possibilities
The NOMAD effortlessly tracks wide-angle Milky Way landscapes, comets, and deep-sky objects like Orion or M31. It even tracks the Sun and Moon to keep your frames perfectly centered. One compact tracker, infinite creative possibilities.

FAQs

Yes, the NOMAD is fully compatible with all DSLR and mirrorless cameras

Absolutely. We offer specific bundles optimized for Southern Hemisphere users.
NOMAD Phone Kit and Richard's Astro Kit are specifically designed to make polar alignment seamless south of the equator.

Yes, the NOMAD features an Arca-Swiss dovetail with a built-in safety stop screw and a standard 1/4" threaded hole for broader compatibility.

The NOMAD star tracker has a maximum payload capacity of 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg). This makes it robust enough to easily handle most standard camera bodies paired with wide-to-telephoto lenses.

Many users can have sharp images even with 200mm to 300mm, but we would say MSM usually gives the best performance with lenses below 200mm.

If you plan to shoot globally, we highly recommend using a smartphone for polar alignment, as it works seamlessly in both hemispheres. The MSM Phone Mount kit
is an excellent, budget-friendly option if you already own a ball head. If you need a complete, travel-ready setup, Full Kit Richard Astro Kit is our top recommendation.
