Polar Scope Align Pro

Polar Scope Align Pro is a complete toolkit for amateur astronomers: accurate polar alignment, deep-sky observing, astro weather, push-to/manual GoTo, iOptron mount WiFi control, widgets and more. All features and updates are free forever. Optional in-app purchases are just tips to support development.

POLAR ALIGNMENT

• Calculates Polaris or σ Octantis position for 30+ reticle types: iOptron, Astro-Physics, Takahashi, Skywatcher, Vixen, Celestron, Orion, Astrotrac and others*

• Atmospheric refraction correction for accuracy at any latitude

• Works with or without a polar scope

ALIGNMENT WITHOUT A POLAR SCOPE

• Daytime / No Polar Scope Alignment: works day and night with just your phone's gyro

• Camera Azimuth Calibration: use sun/moon/stars to calibrate gyro and align accurately without a compass, immune to magnetic interference

• Laser / Hop Align: nighttime alignment for maximum accuracy with a laser or a scope with no view of Polaris

• Live sky map guides you to the celestial pole in real time

PUSH TO (MANUAL GOTO)

• Attach your phone to any scope and convert it to manual/push GoTo

• Select from a large database and use direct push or more accurate hop-to mode

DEEP SKY OBJECT DATABASE

• 22,000+ objects with altitude graphs, rise/set times and more info

• Save and manage curated observing lists

• Filter, search, sort and push to any target
