Omegon EQ-500X Pole Finder

Omegon EQ-500X Pole Finder - quickly and accurately align your mount
The Omegon EQ-500X pole finder helps you precisely align your mount with the celestial north pole in minutes. No more complicated calculations or scaling. Just install, focus and start astrophotography or visual observation.

Quick alignment with the Great Bear and Cassiopeia
The polar finder has a protractor with indications of constellations such as the Great Bear and Cassiopeia. Rotate the telescope axis until the indications exactly match the actual star position. This makes it easy to find the true celestial pole, even as a beginner.

For the southern sky
Not just suitable for the north: the polar finder also provides directions for the southern sky with the southern Pole Star and Southern Cross. So your alignment will work anywhere in the world.

12-hour scale for extra precision
The 12-hour scale shows the Pole Star position like a clock. This makes alignment intuitive and easy, especially when combined with a smartphone app. This allows you to check exactly where the Pole Star is.

Adjustable focus for optimal visibility
You can adjust the focus of the polar finder yourself with the diopter adjustment. As a result, you will always see the stars and graphics clearly and sharply.
