iOptron Electronic polar finder iPolar for the CEM120 (62327)

The PoleMaster is a high-precision, easy-to-use electronic polar scope designed to simplify and enhance the process of polar alignment. Traditional methods can be time-consuming and require bending or kneeling to manually align the mount. The PoleMaster eliminates these challenges by using a sensitive camera to capture the northern sky, providing a quick and efficient way to achieve precise polar alignment. It works by identifying the true north point and matching it to the rotation center of the R.A. axis.

This device mounts directly on the front of the R.A. axis and uses advanced algorithms to calculate the exact position of the North Pole based on the locations of nearby stars, including faint ones that are invisible to the naked eye. The PoleMaster marks two points on your computer screen—the R.A. rotation center and the virtual polar point—and guides you to adjust your mount until they overlap, ensuring accurate alignment. With a precision of up to 30 arcseconds, this electronic polar scope is fast, reliable, and effective even under poor sky visibility conditions.

Key Features:

• Fast and Easy Operation: Achieves high precision polar alignment within two minutes.
