iOptron Electronic Polar Finder iPolar for AVX

iOptron Electronic Polar Finder iPolar for AVX: Electronic Polar Finder

With the iPolar line, you align a Celestron AVX to the celestial pole via your laptop screen. The built-in camera shows the actual pole position and the direction of the polar axis; you bring both points together using the azimuth and altitude screws.

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 mount is intended for the Celestron Advanced VX. The accompanying AVX adapter connects the iPolar to the mount's polar axis. This gives the AVX the same electronic polar alignment as iOptron's own mounts.
