Rob Gallucci Astro Kit — Product Recommendation by Rob Gallucci

Rob Gallucci Astro Kit -Option One

If you’ve been curious about star tracking but felt intimidated by the setup, you’re not alone. Most photographers assume tracking is complicated, technical, and only for “hardcore astrophotographers.”

The truth is: tracking is easy once you use the right kit — and it’s one of the biggest upgrades you can make for Milky Way photography.

That’s why I worked with Move Shoot Move to create the Rob Gallucci Astro Kit: a simplified, field-proven setup built around the exact pieces I recommend to my workshop students. No fluff, no confusing extras — just the components that help you get sharp stars, cleaner files, and consistent results faster.

Why I Recommend This Kit 

In wide-field astrophotography (Milky Way landscapes), tracking allows you to:

• Shoot longer exposures while keeping stars sharp

• Use lower ISO for cleaner images with less noise

• Capture more detail in the Milky Way with less post-processing struggle

• Get more “keepers” in less time

This is the kit I’d want any photographer to start with if they told me:

What’s Included

NOMAD Tracker — smooth tracking for sharp stars

Laser Pointer — fast, accurate polar alignment at night

Safety Notice: Please use the laser responsibly and avoid pointing it toward aircraft, vehicles, people, or eyes. Turn the laser on only when needed during polar alignment.

Wedge — fine precision alignment (the key to success)

Z Mount (Z Plate) — stable mounting + proper balance for camera/lens setups

This kit is ideal for Milky Way photographers using wide-angle to standard lenses who want a lightweight, travel-friendly system that’s easy to learn

Add-On Kit: Rob Gallucci Astro Kit + Ballhead-Option Two

If you don’t already own a compact ballhead, I recommend the upgraded kit with the MSM Ballhead.

It makes the setup easier in the field by allowing you to:

• Frame your shot quickly and precisely

• Fine-tune your Milky Way composition without frustration

• Adjust elevation/angle smoothly after alignment

For many photographers, this add-on is what makes the tracker feel truly effortless.

All the best,

Rob
