QHY PoleMaster electronic polar finder for Skywatcher EQ-6 and AZ-EQ-6 mounts

PoleMaster offers a straightforward solution for achieving precise polar alignment effortlessly. Traditional methods of polar alignment can be time-consuming and prone to disruptions. Even with mounts like iOptron's Center-balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM), which feature accessible polar scopes, alignment still involves physical adjustments that can be inconvenient.

PoleMaster simplifies this process by directly addressing the task of finding the true north point and aligning it with the rotation center of your R.A. axis. This electronic polar scope mounts onto the front of the R.A. axis and employs a highly sensitive camera to capture images of the northern sky, including faint stars near Polaris. Using this data, PoleMaster calculates the precise position of the North Pole and detects the rotation center of the R.A. axis. It then guides you through adjustments to align the two points on your screen, ensuring accurate polar alignment.

With PoleMaster, achieving a high level of polar alignment precision—up to 30 arcseconds—takes only two minutes. This efficient and user-friendly tool makes polar alignment hassle-free, allowing you to focus on capturing stunning images of the night sky.
