Move Shoot Move Advanced NOMAD Star Tracker Kit for Northern Hemisphere

This Advanced NOMAD Star Tracker Kit for Northern Hemisphere from Move Shoot Move is ready for you and your camera to make beautiful long-exposure deep-sky images. The polar scope and laser pointer will assist in aligning the tracker with Polaris and the wedge allows for equatorial tracking of targets as they appear to move across the sky. The headlamp, which can skip the white-light settings and activate in red, will make your life much easier as your imaging session proceeds.

Compact, lightweight, and simple to operate, the NOMAD Star Tracker from Move Shoot Move allows cameras and smart telescopes to capture deep-sky images by countering the earth's rotation. The Nomad mounts on your tripod and is equipped with a mounting screw for a ball head holding your camera. Once properly aligned, the NOMAD will rotate your camera to match the rotation of the earth, capturing sharp images of stars, galaxies, constellations, and more.

This Adjustable Laser is used for quick polar alignment on the Move Shoot Move NOMAD star tracker. It installs on the NOMAD by means of the included adapter. The laser can also be used with select Sky-Watcher and iOptron trackers, but requires separately sold adapters. This laser is used only for alignment with Polaris in the northern hemisphere.

This Polar Scope for NOMAD Tracker with Adapter & Illuminator is used for the critical step of aligning your Move Shoot Move NOMAD Star Tracker with Polaris in the northern hemisphere or Sigma Octantis in the southern. The scope comes with an adapter for the NOMAD and a photoluminescent illuminator that lets you see the scope's reticle (inner ring for Polaris, outer ring for Octantis.) To activate the illuminator, shine light on it from a phone or headlamp for 60 seconds, after which it will glow so you can perform the alignment.

The Wedge from Move Shoot Move allows tracking mounts to operate equatorially for long-exposure astrophotography, tilting and aligning the telescope's azimuth so it can track an arc around the polar axis. The Wedge supports cameras or small telescopes up to 11 pounds, with an Arca-style plate on top for the rig and a 3/8"-16 tripod mounting hole in the bottom. Manual knobs control 0-60° tilting and permit fine adjustments to the 360° panning base.

A headlamp is a big help under the night sky, and the Astrophotography Headlamp with Independent Red LED from Move Shoot Move offers a helpful feature—the ability to go straight to red light without having to cycle through white light levels first. Red light, of course, is far less disruptive to your night-acclimated vision than white light, yet still provides illumination for tasks. The Astrophotography Headlamp is powered by a rechargeable 1200mAh battery and comes with a charger. A full charge will power the lamp between four and 30 hours, depending on brightness levels used.
