How to Mount the Laser Pointer to the NOMAD:

  1. Unscrew the red screw plug at the back of the NOMAD.
  2. Remove the insulating paper inside the laser and the protective cap on the laser head.
  3. Screw the laser adapter onto the laser.
  4. Mount the laser to the back of the NOMAD.


How to Mount the Laser Pointer to Sky-Watcher or iOptron:

  1. Remove the insulating paper inside the laser and the protective cap on the laser head.
  2. Screw the laser into the SW Laser Adapter or IO Laser Adapter (depending on whether you are using a Sky-Watcher or iOptron star tracker).
  3. Attach the laser and adapter combo to the polar scope of your Sky-Watcher or iOptron mount. 

For iOptron SkyGuider Pro (Threaded part inside), you’ll want to purchase the IO Laser Kit from this page: IO Laser Kit

📌SW Laser Adapter Kit is Also Compatible with the MSM Polar Scope

Thanks to Alex McGregor! He discovered that the SW Laser Adapter we originally designed for the Sky-Watcher series star trackers also works with the MSM Polar Scope. By using this adapter on the MSM Polar Scope, the laser blocking issue on the NOMAD can be resolved in most situations.

How to Use it?

  • Screw out the laser cap first

  • Attach the laser to the SW Laser Adapter

  • Attach this combo of laser and adapter to the polar scope and tighten it
  • Setup done

This makes polar alignment much faster! One tip is to make sure it is properly collimated, this will help with the accuracy of your alignment!

“ Laser “

I purchased the laser to accompany the phone holder for this year’s Milky Way Season. It’s too early to use it but looking forward to it.

Good job polar aligning

It does a very good job to help me polar align. One little con is that when it is on for a few minutes it dims down but I should be done aligning my Nomad by then.
It's overall a great product and it does it job. I have two now, one to polar align and the other one to help me find my target.

Impresionante

El nomad es un tracker fantástico, cómodo y sencillo de usar, y con una relación calidad-precio insuperable. El puntero facilita enormemente la alineación

Small but BIG Nomad!!!

I recently received the Nomad with the polar alignment kit for smartphones and the laser. Fantastic!

A portable kit and easy to configure.

At the moment only used one evening due to bad weather!

I took a sequence of 90 photos at the Orion Nebula with a mirrorless and 100 mm lens, no photos with the stars crawling, fantastic!!!

I recommend it especially when traveling!

Do not want to take pics without the Nomad starter set anymore!

I bought the starter kit (NOMAD rotator+ pointer + polarscope + wedge+ head lamp) and got results which make me crazy to try more and more galaxies. Top! I do not want to miss this set any more, no chance to a get a similar result without it. Important is the correct adjustment to Polaris and the rest is peanuts. ;o) Of course not but with a little bit training with the whole set of equipment incl. camera you will love it.
