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.
For novices, we want it to be the best easy-to-use star tracker; For experienced astrophotographers, we want it to be the most travel-friendly tracker.
Difference between NOMAD and MSM Rotator:
Improved attachment points. The previous manufacturing tolerances were fine for astro-landscapes but deep-sky needs a firmer foundation.
- The MSM Rotator, due to its design, required specific weight positioning to keep the ball head secure; this has been completely eliminated.
- The laser now screws into the tracker eliminating any chance of wobble.
- The industry standard quick-release plate on the bottom is secured in two places preventing any twisting of the tracker on its mount.
Improved load capacity.
- The hardware has been built to withstand twice the amount of torque as the MSM Rotator.
- Where the MSM Rotator was only designed for wide-angle astro-landscapes, the NOMAD has been designed with wide-field deep-sky use in mind.
- Availability of an optional counterweight system for more experienced users to go even deeper.
Simplified operation.
By designing and building a device with a narrower focus we were able to make it better while keeping the size down.
- One 3-position switch; Northern hemisphere, Southern hemisphere, or Off.
- 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.
- The NOMAD is focused on one function, star tracking. (NOMAD does not have timelapse mode)
Reduced size and weight
A foremost feature of our trackers is portability.
- Our users take our trackers with them even when backpacking to some of the most remote areas of the world.
- We worked to make storing and transporting the tracker even easier so you'll always want to have it with you when traveling.
- The tracker is called NOMAD for a reason; it is designed to travel with you wherever you go.
Specification:
- Body Weight: 0.95-pound (430 g) with rechargeable Li-Poly battery
- Max Payload: 7.7-pound (3.5kg)
- Body Size: 3.5" x 2.6" x 2.16" (89 x 67 x 55mm)
- Function: Northern Hemisphere Star Tracking, Southern Hemisphere Star Tracking
- Material: Anodized Aluminum, CNC machined
- Body base connection: V-style dovetail, Compatible with Arca-swiss
*Please note that NOMAD only does not come with laser adapter or polar scope mount.
