Great for visual use, solar imaging (including eclipses) and even limited short focal length astrophotography. Approximate daytime / no polarscope polar alignment tool. Ability to manually enter time/date and location (including saving favorites, list of recent locations, loading from world location database, searching online).
ALIGNMENT SOFTWARE FOR MAC PRO
You can also try the ad-free Pro version with the following extra features: 6 calculators useful for observing and astrophotography. Download and explore DSS color images of the DSO database entries. Messier, Caldwell and Bright star database. Remember zero position on Celestron / Skywatcher / Orion etc reticles. Calculation and correction/compensation for off-center reticles. Most other apps do not perform precision calculations, so please only compare app readings to accurate sources (USNO, scientific software etc).
Accurate calculation of Polaris or Sigma Oct for any date and location, including effect of atmospheric refraction (and annual aberration, nutation). If you like Polar Scope Align, please consider leaving a review on the app store.
ALIGNMENT SOFTWARE FOR MAC FREE
PoleMaster help view for South Hemisphere users.įeel free to contact the developer with any questions, feature/reticle requests and any problems you have with the app. IOptron old & new, Astro-Physics RAPAS & PASILL, various versions of Takahashi EM-10/11/200/400/500, NJP, PM-1, P2-Z, the latest Orion / Skywatcher, the Classic Skywatcher / Orion / Celestron / Meade / EXOS2 / Bresser, the Telrad, Rigel QuikFinder, a couple for Astrotrac / Losmandy / Kenko / Avalon, the Vixen Atlux/SX/SXD/SXP/AXD/GP/GP-DX/Polarie Polar Axis Scopes, a Konus and several Polar Finders: Tuthill, Explore Scientific 8x50, Meade 9圆0, Vixen Polaris, Celestron 7x50, Carton Optical. Pretty much every reticle in the market is supported: In the settings you can select from a vast collection of reticles, one that matches your own. It will even allow you to measure and correct a centering error of the reticle. It is one of the few programs that are accurate in lower latitudes by correcting for atmospheric refraction (so expect results to agree only with precise software and not most simplistic "polar align" apps - see the "Accuracy" section in help for details). Polar Scope Align will calculate the position of Polaris or σ Octantis in your Polar Scope reticle for your location (using your phone's GPS or manually), allowing a quick and accurate polar alignment.
