The origin of the NOMAD Tracker is based on user feedback and our desire to provide the easiest-to-use, most portable, inexpensive star tracker. (Credit: moveshootmove.com)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Difference between NOMAD and MSM Rotator:

1.    Improved attachment points. The previous manufacturing tolerances were fine for Astro-landscape but deep-sky needs a firmer foundation.

a.    The MSM Rotator, due to its design, required specific weight positioning to keep the ball head secure; this has been completely eliminated.  

b.    The laser now screws into the tracker eliminating any chance of wobble.  

c.     The industry standard quick-release plate on the bottom is secured in 2 places preventing any twisting of the tracker on its mount.  

​

2.    Improved load capacity.  

a.    The hardware has been built to withstand twice the amount of torque as the MSM Rotator. 

b.    Where the MSM Rotator was only designed for wide-angle Astro-landscape, the NOMAD has been designed with wide-field deep-sky use in mind.  

c.     Availability of an optional counterweight system for more experienced users to go even deeper.

​

3.    Simplified operation.  By designing and building a device with a narrower focus we were able to make it better while keeping the size down.

a.    One 3-position switch; Northern hemisphere, Southern, or Off.  

b.    In order to improve on our goals of ease of use and portability, the non-tracker function of the MSM Rotator has been left off, greatly simplifying the operation of the new tracker.  

c.     The NOMAD is focused on one function, star tracking.   (NOMAD does not have timelapse mode)

 

4.    Reduced size and weight.  A foremost feature of our trackers is portability. 

a.    Our users take our trackers with them even when backpacking to some of the most remote areas of the world. 

b.    We worked to make storing and transporting the tracker even easier so you'll always want to have it with you when traveling.

c.     The tracker is called NOMAD for a reason; it is designed to travel with you wherever you go.

Tired of Star Trails and Noise?

 

Want to expose over 30 seconds? Move Shoot move is the product you are looking for! By rotating your camera against the rotation of the earth with the rotational speed of the earth, it prevents the formation of star trails when shooting long exposures.

 

Compact and Simple Installation

 

Polar alignment, which many people have trouble with, is now much simpler. It makes astrophotography a much simpler process by turning your tracking device into polarity. Just set your exposure time and focus. Then you are ready!

 

Is it compatible with my camera?

​

Yes!
 

1. As a star tracker, it can support all cameras.

2. As a timelapse mount, it works directly with Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras through the hot-shoe port. For Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, etc. just connect the intervalometer.

 Do I need the laser pointer?
 

1. If you are new to astrophotography, we recommend choosing the laser pointer to begin. It's easier to use than the polar alignment for novices. 

2. If you mainly use a wide-angle lens, then the laser pointer is enough and the most convenient for you.
    

So,

• If you are new and have a low budget, buy the Basic kit B to start

• If you want a ready to shoot Astro kit, buy the Pro kit B. 

• If you are experienced, you will understand how much you can benefit from the Rotator's portability and it's straight forward design.
   

Do I need to buy the Polar Scope?

1. If you use a long lens, then the Polar Scope will provide a more accurate polar alignment.

2. If you are from Australia, then buy the Polar Scope as it is prohibited in Australia to buy the laser pointer.

3. If you might travel to Australia, Switzerland, or other locations that do not allow a laser pointer, then you will require a Polar Scope.
    

So, 

• If you live in Australia or Switzerland, buy Basic Kit A to start

• If you just want a ready to shoot Astro kit for your DSLR, buy the Pro-Kit A. 

• The Complete kit is set up to support all the above options and is ready to go for all locations.
