Discover The Ultimate Travel Buddy For Stargazing: Msm Nomad Captures My First image Of Rho Ophiuchi
Ойын-сауық
MSM NOMAD The ultimate travel star tracker. 1st time capturing Rho Ophiuchi.
I was recently sent the Nomad star tracker by move shoot move to take a look at. I was off on holiday to a Greek island called Kefalonia so what a perfect opportunity. I soon realised I was able to get targets that are almost impossible from home. At home I am 52deg N and in Kefalonia 38deg N so was able to attempt Rho Ophiuchi.
Unfortunately my modded camera only had a 14mm lens available so my unmodded EOS R with its kit lens at 105mm and F4 was all I had to capture Rho. I managed to get it even though I forgot my intervalometer but would love to get a more detailed shot in the future.

Glad you managed to get Rho, Glenn!! It really does seem like a cracking bit of kit and I’m excited to (hopefully 🤞) give mine an outing tonight. I can already feel my lighter pack (though I dare say I’ll find something to add more weight soon!). Lived the fact you had 3 cameras going at once, and superb b-roll. 👌

@@nightscapejournals thanks Paul. Best of luck later and will be interested to see your results. I think you will love it, especially how light it is. Come on, spill the beans, what are you planning to add ? 😂
It's always so interesting watching your videos! I'm not a camera owner, but if I was, the use of this tracker would be great after your explanation!!

Hello Glen hope you had a nice break, good review again, very interesting little tracker with the z mount, it handled the DSLR well it would be interesting to see how it performs with my Samsung mirrorless and stock 18-55mm lens, it weights only about 10oz all in, and it was a great shock about Alyn my thoughts and wishes go to his family, I am surprised no one set up a just giving page for him, a great loss to the astro community

Had a wonderful break thank you. Its a great travel set up and would be perfect for your camera and lens. I had the mirrorless EOS R and 24-105mm lens on it and also used the canon 6D with samyang 14mm and both were tracked and supported as they should. It was extremely sad about Alyn he was such a source of knowledge and inspiration, he will be missed.
Hi Glenn looks like a great light weight tracker , thanks for the review mate

Always good to see less expensive equipment hitting the market. BTW this video didn't come up on my feed despite being subbed and having seen all of your prior videos. I only found it as I checked through my subscriptions.
