Customer Reviews
I got the latest version. I'm very happy with the purchase.
It is the easiest polar alignment tool on the market. Period.
Advantages:
1. very easy to calibrate
2. very easy to use
3. very fast polar alignment
Disadvantages:
that type of battery is expensive but because of its small size, the laser pointer is short and small
I tracked 50 mm lens (equivalent) for two minutes and i got sharp stars. Then i tried 90 mm equivalent for 60 seconds and again i got sharp stars. So i decided to try 150 mm equivalent for one minute and still got sharp stars. Then i tried equivalent of 300 mm f2.8 in horizontal position but it was already way over midnight, and the lens got foggy so i am not sure if it works with that lens. Partially my fault as i did not put hood on that lens to make it lighter and better balanced. Can't wait for clear sky to give it a try with 300 mm focal length (Andromeda).
Delivery:
MSM team provides outstanding service. The tracker arrived from Hong Kong in one week. They called before they showed up at the door. Very professional.
Summary:
I highly recommend laser pointer even for experienced astrophotographers.

Pointer for Polar Alignment
For longer focal lengths, an accurate laser us just a must. This laser is easily calibrated and the strength of the laser is fantastic. A must have if you buy the MSM.
The later versions of the laser pointer are a great improvement. They are smaller and have adjustment screws to make sure the beam is aligned properly. It's simple, but essential I found, and you then get great results with minimum fuss. Go for the more powerful one though because I didn't and the lower power version doesn't really show a beam until it's truly dark. I now have two!
Pointer for Polar Alignment
Great laser for aligning for Astrophotography however the bracket to attach to stand is too big and not adjustable!
