#Upgraded in Aug. 2020#

Hi Friends,

Seeing that many of you would like to have a laser pointer with its laser as straight as possible, finally, we've upgraded the laser pointer to an adjustable version. It's also smaller than the previous version.

So, if you mainly play with wide lenses, it works for your lenses without adjustment.

If you may use a long-focus lens sometimes, you can adjust the laser beam then.

Here's the instructions on how to do it:

Regarding the battery for the new pointer, it's a 14250 3.6V battery.

A battery comes with the pointer, put in it already, it's rechargeable, so you can also charge it if you want.

Clear Skies,

New MSM Pointer

I'm delighted with the new updated MSM pointer. The new version has the ability to be adjusted which makes it even more accurate. As like the initial pointer, polar alignment is easy to achieve in a few seconds.

Good Quality Product

I only bought a laser pointer and two brackets; the mount bracket and a camera mount bracket.

Other than some shipping problems, the laser pointer and brackets are great. The brackets are metal, not plastic, and solid. The laser pointer is compact and powerful.

Support from MSM was excellent! Prompt and courteous.

I would buy from MSM again.

Works well, but needed to be calibrated

I have used it multiple times now, it has provided an accurate enough alignment to use long telephoto lenses (300mm) for exposure times of 30 seconds with no star trailing. One word of warning though, my polar scope was not calibrated, and in order to get the most accurate results I did have to calibrate it. There are several YouTube video's on doing this, but it is a little tricky. So make sure you test yours first, and if needed perform a calibration.

MilkyWay,moonlight and clouds

I have not had a chance to use it.now that the MilkyWay is up,the moon has been up and cloudy. I’m looking forward to using it.

A Compact and Easy to Use Star Tracker

A star tracker that you can slip in your pocket is a rarity but add ease of use and the MSM is a great little product. Polar aligning with the laser is quick and simple so this product is ideal for beginners or astrophotographers on the move.

The MSM also has a great community for help and support.

Easy Polar Alignment for wide angles

This works extremely well when using focal lengths of 50mm or wider and you don't push shutterspeeds above 60s or so.
My favourite focal length for Milky Way astroscapes is 35mm as it produces shots with lovely details of the Milky Way and there i regularly use 90s as my exposure time together with an aperture of f2.8, for sharpness and less vignetting, on relatively low ISOs for astroscapes (below ISO1000).
