Way more accurate than the laser

I wanted to start using a polar scope. So I order the bits required and started to use it. I found I could not get along with the Fluorescent Illuminator. Asking talking to Move Shot Move they suggested the old style Illuminator which I just love using. Happy Shooting

When I decided to try some longer focal length shots, I upgraded my setup to use the polar scope. Very happy with the alignment I can get.

Received Polar Scope and a number of accessories. They are of high quality, work as described, and they were shipped in a timely fashion. Great products and the site has so many great resources. Highly recommended.

Between the polar alignment laser for Star Adventurer 2i and the hot shoe adapter I can use to mount the laser on my Canon T7 and line up my shots. That's how I managed to get a picture of Mars and comet ZTF>

received the polar scope right angle viewer on time, great piece of equipment I can now do a polar alignment with out getting on my née

This product is definitely a step up from the shitty wire illuminator that came with the scope. However it would have been 20 x better if it was a button. Why would it be a twist mechanism? Only a child with tiny fingers would be able to operate it effectively. In the cold? Forget about it. Really needs to be changed to a button. Seriously. Easy fix. Fix it.

Bought the polar Scope Illuminator in the hope the device would illuminate polar field. After a few adjustments the product worked as advertised.

I recently added the polar alignment scope to my Move Shoot Move kit, in order to get a better polar alignment than is possible with the laser. I also bought the 90 degree elbow adapter so that I wouldn't need to crouch awkwardly while getting my alignment right.

Once I figured out how to mount the polar alignment scope and rotate the reticle to the correct position, polar alignment was simple. Clearer instructions would have been helpful here. With this said, the MSM community is very supportive and helpful, should you have questions.

I would have loved to know:
* Should I get version 'A' or 'B' of the kit? I chose A and it worked, but it was not clear which was best for me?
* How do I properly mount the scope into the mounting bracket? The scope clamps in nicely but I wasn't sure I'd positioned it properly, or pushed it far enough in to the bracket. A picture or two would have helped.
* How do I rotate the reticle to match my polar alignment app? I figured this out i the end, but it took a bit of guesswork.

Having said that, once I had this figured out, my resulting alignment was very good - much better than I achieved with the laser.

One other recommendation - if you have a choice between the 3D printed plastic LED illuminator or a machined metal one, pay extra for metal. It's much more durable, should you accidentally drop the alignment scope (ask me how I know).

All in all, I highly recommend the polar alignment scope.

I bought the polar scxope and its light as a replacement for a previous model. I found myself very well and the light illuminates the reticule very well. I can only recommend the product.
