iOptron iPolar Electronic Polar Scope for CEM120

iOptron iPolar Electronic Pole Finder for CEM120: electronic pole finder

With the iPolar line, you can project an iOptron CEM120 from the North Pole via your laptop screen. The built-in camera shows the actual pole position and the direction of the polar axis; with the azimuth and elevation screws, you can 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 made for the CEM120. In an observatory installation of this class, a precise alignment immediately pays off in the high-precision performance. Newer CEM120 versions are supplied with built-in iPolar; this unit serves as a replacement for it.
