Polar scope and laser. Because I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy :-)

Although I only needed a few small parts for repairs and additions, I was able to order them easily and the delivery was perfect! Super service, thank you

Perfecto complemento para la alineacion polar; usando el puntero láser y el buscador polar, las estrellas salen perfectas.
Estoy muy contento con la adquisición. Lo recomiendo

Although using the laser pointer alone for polar alignment gives the ability to track with acceptable accuracy, adding the polar scope alignment has allowed me to use a 135mm lens for exposures of up to 2 minutes without noticeable trailing. The new illuminator makes it quite easy to use. Definitely worth the small extra investment!

I've been a long-time owner of a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Pro and have a love/hate relationship with the polar scope illuminator on that tracker. I got a MSM Nomad last fall, with the polar scope, glow-in-the-dark illuminator and a laser. The polar scope and glow-in-the-dark illuminator worked ok. This winter, I found out that you could order longer levers for the older design of V and Z brackets (which I have owned for about three years or so), I put them in my cart to refit each of my brackets. Looking around the MSM online store, I also found this handy-dandy illuminator! I have used it three times now, and I absolutely love it! Sky-Watcher could learn a thing or two from MSM when it comes to polar scope illuminators, that's for sure! Way to go, Move Shoot Move! I love my Nomad, and I love it even more now with an amazing illuminator for the polar scope!

Just fantastic. Good tracking.

I bought the scope with the red illumination tool which work really well together. You can get away with just the laser for wide angle but for telephoto and longer exposures it does pay dividends to use the scope.

I upgraded from the original MSM star tracker to the newer Nomad unit. While I really liked the original, the Nomad represents great improvements. It is more compact, sturdier, and easier to use. I have had great success with both units, but I really love the new Nomad and the upgraded accessories that come with it.

It took a few nights of unanticipated cloud cover for me to fully engage with my new MSM Polar Scope. After 2 cloudless nights of shooting in S. Texas, I can say that I’m delighted with the results.

Using the polar scope with the rotator isn’t the easiest way to polar align. The glow in the dark paper in the scope just doesn’t cut it. Enter the screw on red light. Suddenly, seeing the reticle is no longer an issue. Alignment is easily done in a couple minutes. Highly recommended accessory!
