iOptron iPolar Electronic Polar Finder for CEM25

iOptron iPolar Electronic Polar Scope for CEM25: electronic polar scope

With the iPolar, you align an iOptron CEM25 to the celestial pole via your laptop screen. The built-in camera shows the actual polar 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 made for the CEM25 and replaces the optical polar scope in the polar axis. Mounting hardware is included; for the CEM25P, the separate iPolar adapter is available.
