Hi Glen! Love the video. I was so confused why the scope had a big black dot in the middle only to realize it was in need of a dioptic focus thanks to you! I got the right angle finder inspired by you. I am able to use it quite well with the 1x zoom, but when I go to 2x zoom, everything is blurry. In your experience, have you needed to re-focus when in 2x zoom? I used the focusser on the the right angle finder itself, but sadly it still looks unfocussed
I have just tried this to double check and I do not need to refocus at 2x magnification. I use it without glasses if that's makes any difference. Cheers Glen
Thank you, that was invaluable - I have the same polar scope and I've not found any guidance about how to set it up, probably wouldn't have worked it out without you so thanks for that!
sorry for my english..i have a Nikon D7200.. D3100, Z5 and the Angle Finder. have you tried to align polaris to the Kamera Viewfinder? you set all in the right angle and align through the viewfinder... do you think it is possible?
Greetings from Chile very good your videos I congratulate you as soon as my msm arrived and a video of the functions and the msm buttons in a video would be of great help and how to align in the southern hemisphere thank you very much
I have now attached the screws from the previous laser I have to mark it with an Edding so that it always points to the same position, but that means that calibration is not possible because it depends heavily on the mount!
@@yannickroth8480 It really does not need to be totally accurate if you are doing wide angle astrophotography. I have used the small guide hole on the mount and easily achieved 2 minute exposure with a wide angle lens
I mostly take pictures with 35 mm or sometimes with 14 but also want to use 135. I don't want to expose longer than one or two minutes at most anyway because I'd rather have more shots than one too long one that could be faulty..
Thanks very much Glen. I've watched a few of your MSM videos now, they are great!!!
Thank you. Much appreciated.

I wish the MSM with a better fixation of laser or scope...
For explaining the focus on the scope. I was confused about that one. Great job
Pleased to be able to help

Excellent video. MSM directions are horrible and this really cleared up some questions I had. Thanks.

I bought the new laser that can be calibrated, but it doesn't help if the fixation is constantly different every time during assembly..
Try marking the laser so that it always fits in the same position

@@GlenTillyard Which hole exactly I haven't discovered yet?
