iOptron iPolar Electronic Polar Finder for CGEM, NEQ6 and AZ-EQ6

iOptron iPolar Electronic Polar Scope for CGEM, NEQ6 and AZ-EQ6: electronic polar scope

With the iPolar you align a Celestron CGEM, Sky-Watcher NEQ6/EQ6-R and AZ-EQ6 with the celestial pole via the screen of your laptop. The built-in camera shows the actual pole position and the direction of the polar axis; using the azimuth and altitude screws, you bring both points together.

The software automatically calculates the exact pole position based on date and time. Looking through a small optical pole finder is no longer necessary, and alignment is also successful even if Polaris is not clearly visible.

Accurate at every location

The sensitive sensor with a wide field of view finds the correct orientation even after a rough alignment. The iPolar works in both the northern and southern hemispheres and remains usable at low latitudes. Precise polar alignment extends the usable exposure time without guiding.

The connection to the computer is via USB 2.0.

Assembly

This version is intended for the Celestron CGEM and the Sky-Watcher EQ6 family, including the EQ6-R Pro and AZ-EQ6. The corresponding adapter mounts the iPolar into the polar axis. This gives these popular mounts the same electronic polar alignment as iOptron's own line.
