QHY PoleMaster Electronic Polar Scope

QHY PoleMaster – Precise Polar Alignment Made Simple!

Achieving precise polar alignment with a manual polar scope can be challenging, even for experienced astrophotographers. Aligning your equatorial mount with the celestial pole takes time, patience, and practice.

With the QHY PoleMaster Electronic Polar Scope, you can achieve professional-level tracking accuracy without being an expert! In less than 5 minutes, you can complete polar alignment and get started capturing stunning images of the night sky.

Developed by QHYCCD, the PoleMaster is an innovative electronic polar alignment solution designed to simplify the alignment process and save valuable time spent fine-tuning your equatorial mount.

Featuring a high-precision imaging sensor, the PoleMaster captures real-time images of the area surrounding the celestial pole. Together with the included QHYCCD PoleMaster Alignment Software, it guides you step by step through the polar alignment process.

Compatible with nearly any equatorial mount on the market when used with the appropriate adapter, the PoleMaster offers a versatile solution for astrophotographers of all experience levels.

With alignment accuracy of up to 30 arcseconds and adjustable sensor sensitivity through the included software, you can begin polar alignment as soon as the first stars appear in the evening sky.

Spend less time aligning your mount and more time exploring the universe with the QHY PoleMaster!
