It works great, my only complaint is if you use the laser to align with Polaris. The camera blocks the laser when it’s in position, so you have to move the camera aside, align the laser, then compose. This causes alignment errors. They need to make a little bracket so the laser is more off to the side of everything. Then you could align the laser and compose your image knowing you haven’t knocked t out of alignment.

Such a simple and easy device to us.
Light weight and reliable, I used it to track comet tsuchinshan-atlas with 200mm lens and the images turned out really great. I look forward to doing some wide angle milkyway shots.

Move shoot move Nomad star tracker
Fantastic piece of kit, So light weight and and works well with the Alyn wallace V and Z mount. I look forward to using this when I go too La palma next year. I strongly recommend this tracking mount to anyone interested in astrophotography and doing wide angled milkyway images or panoramic images. I also look forward to seeing how this works with deep space astrophotography.

Move Shot Move Nomad
The Move Shot Move Nomad is a wonderful tool for astrophotography in the field. I use this tool on my transportable photo equipment, like stativ, camera with lens (normal holiday photography) and now with the new nomad tracker (astrophotography), it is very small, mighty and sturdy equipment, which is a good compagnion at my holiday trips through europe.

Polar Scope Illumination Could Be Better
Really like the simplicity it brings in a small package. I’ve been able to take 60sec exposures using a 130mm lens—andromeda with MSM!
My only dislike is the polar alignment scope illumination is not great using the fluorescent paper in a tube. I have to “charge” it with a bright light which means another 20-30 minutes of getting readjusted to the dark. And the brightness is not good in the scope. I wish it had an attached led like my svbony alignment eyepiece used on my Celestron.

Compact yet powerful
I have the original MSM tracker but wanted a bit more weight capacity. Both have worked well and as advertised. I would buy again if needed.

I have received MSM NOMAD TRACKER and the delivery was fast. All works as described only the laser was not calibrated properly. Otherwise all is great.

Handlicher und leichter Tracker
Für Einsteiger ist dieser Nomad-Startracker wirklich eine sehr gute Wahl. Er ist handlich und leicht. Mit dem Zubehör im Shop lässt sich auf einfache Weise eine tolle Nachführung des Sternenhimmels erreichen. Leider ist die Einführung von Lasern in die Schweiz verboten, was ich sehr bedaure und somit keine Anpeilung des Polarstern mit Laser damit möglich. Das anstelle des Lasers erworbene Zielfernrohr konnte ich leider wegen schlechtem Wetter noch nicht testen. Der nächste Schritt für eine Optimierung ist sicherlich der Kauf einer Polarwiege und oder einer V oder Z Plattform.
