Not sure
I’ve been using this app for years and years. I use it each time I set my Astro rig up. Not sure if I like the universal time as opposed to my regular time. Hopefully I can get out soon bad try the new upstate.
Sehr gut
Aber es fehlt das die dämmerungsphasen angezeigt werden
Wrong universal time
App shows local time instead of universal time.
Astro kit indispensable !
Utilisation exclusive pour mise en station de la monture du télescope, seul bémol :l’angle horaire de l’application n’est pas le même que celui de la monture ( NEQ 6 pro Sky watcher) le reste est parfait !!
Très simple
Très simple et rapide pour avoir les coordonnés nécessaires à la mise en station de son télescope (CELESTRON Nextar6).
Universal Time is Wrong
Shows same time as local.
Rapide, simple, net et précis.
Pas de fioritures inutiles, juste l’essentiel à la portée de tous, une appli indispensable pour une mise en station rapide, simple et efficace. merci.
Trés pratique !
L'essentiel des coordonnées GPS et l'angle horaire de polaris essentiel à une bonne mise en station et tout ca en 1 clic ! Merci !
Latest update has bugs
Latest update does not seem to show a difference between local and universal time and Polaris HA is off by the difference between the two.
Impeccable :)
Merci pour la correction, tout fonctionne nickel 👍🏻 Petite remarque : l’heure indiquée n’est pas l’heure universelle. Celle qui s’affiche est la même que celle du téléphone (en l’occurrence GMT +2 dans mon cas)
Utile
Semplice e utile per stazionare il telescopio usando l'angolo orario della polare

Très bien
Très simple, mais efficace 😉
Very usefull App- absolut empfehlenswert
Gerade installiert, ohne Probleme laeuft sauber und schnell ohne abstürze. Etwas bessere Beschreibung währe sinnvoll da es sich wohl eher Anfänger laden werden. Es fehlt die Info ob noch ein korrekturwert am Polarsucher angestellt werden muss oder nicht. Great App, easy to load , easy to use. Im missing some more information As might novices to astronomy will load this app. Maybe an interactive how2 Could Be added by using the possibilities of the harware....?
Mise en Sation
Très bonne petite application, Elle fait le Job et aide pour la mise en station. Merci

Simple
