Product Information
Overview
In order for any star tracker to work the way it's designed, polar alignment has to be done in the first place. It is the act of aligning the rotation axis of a star tracker in parallel with Earth's self-spin axis. How do you know when your Move Shoot Move Star Tracker's rotation axis is aligned? Well, the Polar Scope we have here does just that!

Customer Reviews
Works great!
Habe schon einiges bestellt und alles war immer bestens !
I like your updates in the delivery status. I felt me well informed about the progress.
The quality of the meets my expectation.
Room for improvement is technical documentation and best praxis reports.
Incredible products and great service! I am still in the early learning stages of astrophotography, recently decided to add a star tracker, and after watching reviews on many different trackers and mounts I liked what I saw with Nomad. It has definitely lived up to the hype! Thank you!
Polar Scope and Accessories
I picked up the polar scope as an add on to my Nomad tracker. VERY handy to get final precise alignment in combination with a phone app that tells me where to place polaris on the circle. My scope does not have the same "clock" numbers as the training video, so I'm hoping I'm orienting it correctly... we'll see on longer lens shots of galaxies.. But it is worth having to align perfectly.
I took this out for the first time in Yellowstone and it was so easy to set up and use. The only issue I had was with the new scope and laser holder. Since it attaches much closer to the tracker, I had to adjust my camera and Z plate so they did not obstruct the path of the laser. All in all, a great tracker!
Great product, very effective when it comes to being able to work just by illuminating the scope a little without the need for batteries. More comfortable than the previous u LED light that was annoying to install and broke easily, great product improvement, very happy
I am very satisfied with nomad star tracker, laser and star finder work is very Goodyear.
The product arrived well packaged and with no damages. I did first trials with wide-field lenses (14 mm, 20 mm and 24 mm). The photos have been sharp with no trailing up to 120 s. I will take the Nomad tracker to La Palma in the next step. According to Richard Tatti´s YT video I did some recommended changes.
