iOptron Electronic polar finder iPolar for the CEM60

The PoleMaster is a precise and user-friendly electric polar scope.

Achieving precise polar alignment can be time-consuming and challenging. iOptron's Center-balanced Equatorial Mounts (CEM), like the CEM25 and CEM60, feature an accessible polar scope for quicker alignments. However, traditional methods often require bending or kneeling to perform the alignment.

The PoleMasterTM electronic polar scope simplifies this process by aligning with the true north point and matching it with the rotation center of your R.A. axis. Installed in front of the R.A. axis, it utilizes a highly sensitive camera to capture images of the northern sky, detecting both Polaris and nearby faint stars. Using sophisticated algorithms, the PoleMaster calculates the true position of the North Pole and the rotation center of the R.A. axis. It marks these points on the computer screen, allowing you to adjust the mount until they overlap, ensuring accurate alignment.

The PoleMasterTM electronic polar scope offers a quick and easy solution, providing a direct and simple way to align with the pole. Within two minutes, you can achieve a very high polar alignment precision of up to 30 arcsec.

Features:

• Fast and easy to use
• No need to locate the Pole Star
• No need to rotate the mount during alignment
• On-screen instructions guide the alignment process
• Effective even under poor sky visibility conditions
