Electronic polar finder: Never crawl under the mount again! With this accessory you can easily and very precisely carry out the polar alignment of your mount on the screen. The electronic viewfinder has a built-in camera. This shows you on your laptop or PC the location of the north celestial pole and the place where the polar axis of your mount is pointing. Simply align the two points with the azimuthal and equatorial adjustment screws of the mount - done!
The location of the north celestial pole differs slightly from the location of the polar star. The electronics calculate the exact position from the date and time . Thanks to the sensitivity of the camera and the large field of view, polar alignment is also possible with a mount that is only roughly set up correctly.
Also works in the southern sky ! At low latitudes, atmospheric refraction is also taken into account.
