iOptron PoleMaster Electronic Polar Scope for CEM60

PoleMaster: Precision Made Effortless

Achieving precise polar alignment can be a challenging task, often requiring significant time and effort. With traditional methods, even after meticulous preparation, a single misstep can lead to restarting the entire alignment process. However, iOptron’s Center-balanced Equatorial Mounts (CEM), such as the CEM25 and CEM60, feature an accessible polar scope, allowing for swift and precise alignment in just minutes. Yet, traditional methods often necessitate uncomfortable positions, like bending or kneeling.

The PoleMasterTM electronic polar scope simplifies this process by aligning the true north point with the rotation center of your R.A. axis. Installed at the front of the R.A. axis, this device utilizes a highly sensitive camera to capture images of the northern sky, revealing not only Polaris but also faint nearby stars. Leveraging this data, it accurately calculates the precise position of the North Pole and identifies the rotation center of the R.A. axis. Displaying both points on the computer screen, the PoleMaster facilitates easy adjustment until precise alignment is achieved.

PoleMasterTM electronic polar scope provides a quick and easy solution. It gives you a direct and simple way to align with the pole. Within two minutes, you could obtain a very high polar alignment precision up to 30 arcsec.
