Excellent, easy to understand video. The only thing I would add is that, every now and then you should check the alignment of the laser pointer. Screw it into the tracker and point it at a piece of paper taped on the wall. Then, loosen the pointer enough that you can rotate it while pointing at that piece of paper on the wall. As you turn it, if it is in proper alignment, the point of light will continue to point at the same spot as you turn it. If you see that the light draws a circle on the paper, then the laser needs to be adjusted. There are two small allen screws on the front of the pointer that can be turned to bring the light into center. (With the battery removed to prevent any possibility of eye damage, you can look into the front end and get a good estimate of center visually). If the laser isn't aligned dead center, then you might think you have the tracker aligned with Polaris, but in reality you could be way off!
Not stupid at all. Once aligned, simply use the ballhead to move the camera and shoot any part of the sky you like. There's also a Z and V mount on the site that can give you a little more room to maneuver but it's not 100% necessary, just a convenience :)
@@khijarsarnaik827 hi there! This small version doesn’t do that but they have the original MSM rotator that can- the link in the description will take you to their site where you can see the specs on connecting your camera 😊. I have that one as well and it’s easily portable as well. Good luck!

Thanks for that! Those tips are all very true and necessary, I appreciate it!
Easy to understand, thanks for the video Katrina.
Many thanks!!!
Thanks for the instructions.
My pleasure!
Awesome video! You sold me!
That's awesome! You're going to love it! Can't wait to see what you make :)
STUPID QUESTION TIME - If it needs to be constantly aligned to polaris, you can only shoot one area of sky in one view?

Hi excellent video, thanks. Do you know if you could use it for motion Timelapse, if so how do you synced with the camera dslr
