iOptron Pole Finder iPolar HEM

With the iOptron Pole Finder iPolar HEM pole alignment finally becomes easy. No more fumbling with a traditional pole finder or crawling under your mount. The built-in camera shows you on your laptop screen exactly where the celestial pole is and where your mount is pointed.

By aligning the two points with the set screws, you achieve perfect accuracy in minutes. No more guesswork, no more frustration - just a clear image and instant feedback on your screen.

The iPolar automatically calculates the exact position of the celestial pole, taking into account date and time. This ensures that your telescope is aligned exactly right. The sensitive camera has a wide field of view, so even a roughly aligned mount will quickly get to the right spot.

This polar finder works not only in the northern hemisphere, but also in the southern hemisphere. Even atmospheric influences at low latitudes are corrected automatically. That means more stable tracking and sharper shots no matter where you stand.

Do you use Apple devices? No problem. For macOS, there is a dedicated iPolar app in the Mac App Store. iOS users can also get started with the “iOptron iPolar Mobile” app, in conjunction with the iMate Astronomy Control Box.

Note that the iPolar software for macOS is paid, and for iOS you need additional accessories. Always check that your device meets the system requirements.

Each iPolar is designed for one specific type of mount. This version fits only the iOptron HEM Series. So always check your mount before purchase.

✓ No more hassle with manual alignment
