Quick Polar Finder for Skywatcher Star Adventurer/Skywatcher Star Adventurer2i

Quick Polar Finder for iOptron Skyguider Pro

Introduction

Polar aligning with laser pointer is intuitive, convenient and starter friendly, but it's only possible with Move Shoot move star tracker up to now. We want to share the pleasure of laser with other popular star trackers, namely, SkyWatcher Star Adventurer and iOptron SkyGuider pro.

Introducing Quick Polar Finder. Attach it to your equatorial mount, aim the laser beam for Polaris and you've got a fairly close alignment. For Astro-landscape photography, you are good to start shooting right away. For deep space object photography, simply take the Quick Polar Finder off and do an accurate alignment with the polar scope. In either case, you get to shoot the sky in much less time and probably save your back in the long run.

A thank you note

Glen Tillyard's 'loo roll' laser adapter for his SkyWatcher Star Adventurer inspired us to redesign our initial prototype. We appreciate his kind disclosure of this genius work!

Notice

  • Quick Polar Finder only works at locations where Polaris is visible.
  • Quick Polar Finder includes a 520-532nm laser pointer with an output less than 5mw. Please refer to local laws for regulation on laser products before purchasing.

Fits Star Adventurer GTI perfectly

The principal of this little gadget is so simple but so perfect and will cut your polar alignment time significantly. Just make sure there are no planes in the area.

MSM Laser Kit

Have used this a few times now out in the field. Attaches to the Ioptron Skyguider Pro easily and has placed the polar scope very close to Polaris with just small adjustments required. This item has made polar alignment very easy and can now be completed very accurately within a couple of minutes.

Perfect Size Rotator

My MSM Nomad is the perfect size rotator to carry in my camera bag. It's so light and compact that I don't even know it's there. I have used the Nomad several times. It is very easy to align to Polaris here in the Northern Hemisphere. The battery lasts a full night's shoot and can handle some nice size wide angle lens. All in all, for the money, I am very satisfied with my Nomad.

Laser-Kit für Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i und EQ6R Pro geeignet

Ich verwende das Laser-Kit sowohl mit dem Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i als auch mit der EQ6R Pro. Das grobe Einnorden funktioniert dank des hellgrünlichen Laserstrahls, der durch den Polsucher gesendet wird, sehr gut. Die Feinjustierung erfolgt im Anschluss.

Der Polsucher, der in den Star Adventurer 2i integriert ist, hat nur ein kleines Sichtfeld, was das Auffinden des Polarsterns erschwert. Durch den Laserstrahl kann die Montierung jedoch schnell und präzise auf den Polarstern ausgerichtet werden.

Es ist wichtig, den Laserpointer mit äußerster Vorsicht zu handhaben und die Sicherheitsbestimmungen zu beachten, da sonst Augenschäden drohen können. Dies sollte jedoch für uns Astrofotografen kein Problem darstellen, da wir sehr sorgsam mit unserer Ausrüstung umgehen. Dennoch gehört der Laserpointer nicht in Kinderhände.

Die Lieferung aus China dauerte zwar ein paar Tage, aber das Paket war kurzzeitig bei DHL in Deutschland nicht auffindbar, was zu einer Verzögerung führte. Es ist bemerkenswert, dass das Laserkit um den halben Erdball geschickt wurde und kurz vor dem Ziel auf dieses Problem gestoßen ist. Dennoch kam es unbeschadet an.

I have 3 Move Shoot Move Products I use on my Star Adventure

All 3 work better than expected. My polar alignment and pin pointing my dso takes seconds. It's never been faster, or easier. I start with my laser pointer. It slips on my polar scope precisely every time. Once I point at Polaris, I slip it off and slip on the right angle viewer. Everytime Polaris is clearly in the reticle. With a little fine tuning of the adjustment screws, Polaris and the polar clock are perfectly aligned. I am able to do everything with my camera already mounted. To find my dso, I use the laser and the Universal Mount Combo. I slide the combination into my camera hot shoe, point it at the dso, and my object is clearly in my lens....so easy and fast. Thanks team, you've made the hardest part so much more enjoyable.

I used the laser, polar alignment March 17th to take 150 pictures of the waxing gibbons moon.

Great idea.

This is awesome for an old feller like me with a busted up back and knees, who doesn’t like to bend down too much. Especially trying to look through that little eyepiece on the polar alignment scope on my star adventurer 2I trying to get close to Polaris.
With this little laser and adapter I can get super close and just have to bend down for final spot on adjustment.
Super quick and easy. Love it.
Thank you MSM.

Works great!

Complements my iOptron Sky Guider Pro perfectly. I needed the higher load capacity and together with a different Alt-Az High Latitude base that I can now adjust better the MSM LASER kit, as well as the MSM Angle View Finder make polar alignment a breeze. From tripod set up to perfect alignment in less than 5 minutes flat, and anyone who watches seems to assume the MSM LASER kit and Angle View Finder were part of the original equipment. Perhaps they should have been, but my advice to any iOptron Sky Guider Pro, or Skywatcher Star Adventurer user is to go ahead and purchase both and make your life a little easier.

Skywatcher MSM Laser Kit Streamlines polar aligning of your mount or star tracker

Last week I used the laser kit on my Skywatcher EQ-35 Pro and HEQ5 Pro mounts to initially point them toward Polaris. This let me do a faster, course orientation of mounts toward the North over my usual process of doing this by hand or using an app called PS Align Pro. When I then did my fine polar alignment with an ASIAIR & guide scope., the process was much faster since I started with equipment set up already properly aligned. I really like the feature that this same laser kit can be using on these mounts and my Star Adventurer star tracker. If you can see Polaris where you use your star tracker, the laser kit is a handy device to have.

The MSM Laser Kit works!

This device is advertised as a time saver. It works! In a Bortle 3-4 zone, I'm not always sure where Polaris is. Set my Star Adventurer (2i) to the proper coordinates, affixed the MSM Laser to the SA, turned it on, and followed the laser to its end with binoculars. ...Voila! Polaris was in the binocular view. All in 5 minutes or less. I appreciate devices that do as they claim. This one does.
