- 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.

I just thought hold on, that's not his back garden! 😂
Looks lovely. Great little setup 😉
Haha, no not my back garden but as cloudy 😂. Its a nice set up and works well. Clear skies
Cracking video Glenn! What a fantastic bit of kit! This will be very popular for travelling to do nighttime photography ! Great images mate, nice Rho Ophiuchi👍 Clear skies
Thanks Simon. Its so perfect for travelling light. I really want to try Rho again and do a better job. Thanks for watching and clear skies
Great video Glenn. That is a great looking tracker, small and light, perfect combination
Thanks Mark. Glad you liked the video, the Nomad is really good.
Kefalonia, lucky you. Perfect trip to test the tracker. Loved the timelapses
Lovely place and the trip was perfect for the test. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the timelapses
Lovely video and what a fantastic little tracker. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you. Its a great tracker
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!!
Thanks Jeremy, For travelling and taking a quick run and gun set up its great.
Looks a nice bit of kit that mate nice & portable & not to cumbersome like some trackers.
Clear skies
@@dumpydalekobservatory hi Tich. I was surprised at how compact it is and for travelling light its perfect. Does a good job too. Clear skies mate
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 ? 😂
This is something I have been looking at and you have convinced me to press the button. As always great video, thank you
You won't regret it, I think its a super tracker and perfect for travelling light
Super video. You always give an honest viewpoint on gear. I have one and totally agree with your appraisal. Clear skies
Thank you and appreciate your kind comments
Hi Glenn looks like a great light weight tracker , thanks for the review mate
@@Tony-Elliott hi Tony. Its surprising how small and light it is. Perfect for travelling. Looking forward to having a lot more adventures with it
nice video and coverage of the msm tracker. very nice
Thanks a lot 😊
Super stuff. love the video and images
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
Nice review Glenn !
@@siegfriednoet thanks mate
Very nice little setup I'm now off the south of france my kit weighing a little more than that m8 lol
Thanks mate. You’ll be like a news van with all your gear. Have a good trip
@@Astrobloke cheers buddy
This looks really interesting. Sadly they have no dealer in the EU.
Its a super little tracker. I think you can order direct from their website as they show Euro as a currency choice.
@@Astrobloke Yes I saw that. It´s more about taxation and warranty. I will wait for an EU dealer to have this nice tracker.
Hi Glen can you buy the laser for the nomad in the uk ??
Absolutely as the laser is within the legal level for use here. Are you planning to get one? Use the link and code Astrobloke for an extra discount
Thanks for the quick reply Glen i couldnt find a stockist for the laser for the Nomad in the uk so ive ordered one direct from move shoot move in the usa any orders over 39 dollars worldwide free shipping
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.
Absolutely and it’s a very nice tracker for what I think is a fair price. UA-cam being weird as per.
Hope all going well for you and the obsy working well mate, clear skies
