Move Shoot Move NOMAD – Ultra-portable Star Tracker for Astrophotography

The Move Shoot Move NOMAD is a new-generation star tracker designed for the’nomadic astrophotography : Milky Way, deep-sky objects up to a 135 mm focal length, Sun, and Moon.

The 3 Accessories That'll Transform Your Photos (Swiss Expedition Kit)

• Adjustable Bahtinov Mask (59.—alone): Poor focusing is the leading cause of failed star photos. The mask generates diffraction spikes that allow for perfect focus in just a few seconds, with any lens.
• Light Pollution Filter (79.– only): reduces the wavelengths of artificial light and restores the contrast of the Milky Way—a valuable feature under the skies of the Swiss Plateau.
• Anti-fog heating strips (29.– only): On humid nights or at high altitudes, condensation on the lens can cut a session short within an hour. The strips keep the lens dry all night long.

Compatibility and use

• Compatible with all cameras reflex, hybrid and astro cameras.
• GoPro / DJI Action Cam compatible via a standard photo head.
• Compatible with most tripods capable of «pan and tilt.» A ball head may be necessary depending on your setup.
• Tracking the Sun and Moon : The NOMAD can track any celestial object.
