In short:

• Quick and easy to operate
• High precision (30 arcseconds)
• Clear view of the Polaris not required
• No need to turn the mount during alignment
• Exceptional imaging
• Intelligent plate solving
• Computer-aided alignment
• Also usable during poor visibility (seeing, light pollution)

Electronic polarscope: no need to crawl beneath your mount any more! You can use this accessory to comfortably and very precisely polar alignment for your mount on the screen. The electronic finderscope has a built-in camera.This shows you the location of the north celestial pole on your laptop or PC and the location of your mount’s polar axes. Simply use the mount’s azimuthal and equatorial adjustment screws to align both points and voilà!

The location of the north celestial pole differs slightly from the location of the Pole Star.The electronics calculate the exact position using date and time. Thanks to the camera’s sensitivity and the large visual field, polar alignment is even possible on a mount which has only been roughly set up correctly.

Also works in the southern hemisphere ! Furthermore, at low latitudes, atmospheric refraction is taken into consideration.
