Description
Polar Scope Align Pro is a complete toolkit for amateur astronomers: accurate polar alignment, deep-sky observing, astro weather, push-to/manual GoTo, iOptron mount WiFi control, widgets and more. All features and updates are free forever. Optional in-app purchases are just tips to support development.
POLAR ALIGNMENT
Calculates Polaris or σ Octantis position for 30+ reticle types: iOptron, Astro-Physics, Takahashi, Skywatcher, Vixen, Celestron, Orion, Astrotrac and others*
Atmospheric refraction correction for accuracy at any latitude
Works with or without a polar scope
ALIGNMENT WITHOUT A POLAR SCOPE
Daytime / No Polar Scope Alignment: works day and night with just your phone's gyro
Camera Azimuth Calibration: use sun/moon/stars to calibrate gyro and align accurately without a compass, immune to magnetic interference
Laser / Hop Align: nighttime alignment for maximum accuracy with a laser or a scope with no view of Polaris
Live sky map guides you to the celestial pole in real time
Sun Finder helps you point your filtered telescope/telephoto to the Sun
