Electronic PoleMaster — Polar finder for Skywatcher EQ8 - QHY

Product Description

The PoleMaster electronic is a polar finder that avoids getting under the mount. Thanks to its built-in camera, it displays on your PC the position of the north celestial pole and the orientation of the polar axis. By adjusting the azimuth and parallax screws until the points overlap, you achieve precise alignment. The calculation of the pole position is based on the current date and time; the CMOS sensor and wide field allow reliable alignment even with a slightly misaligned mount. Also works in the southern sky and takes atmospheric refraction into account at low latitudes. Perfect for astronomy.
