QHY PoleMaster electronic polar finder for Celestron AVX mount (54403)

The QHY PoleMaster is an electronic polar finder designed specifically for the Celestron AVX mount, offering a high-precision and user-friendly solution for polar alignment. Traditional polar alignment can be time-consuming and physically demanding, often requiring you to kneel or bend to look through a manual polar scope. The PoleMaster simplifies this process by using a sensitive camera that captures the northern sky, including Polaris and surrounding faint stars, to accurately determine the true position of the North Celestial Pole.

By installing the PoleMaster on the front of the R.A. axis, you can view both the rotation center of the R.A. axis and the true north point on your computer screen. The software guides you to adjust the mount until these points overlap, achieving precise polar alignment. With this system, you can reach an alignment accuracy of up to 30 arcseconds in just a couple of minutes, making it much faster and more convenient than traditional methods.
