Description

This is an app to show the position of the Pole Star (Polaris in Northern Hemisphere, or Sigma Octantis in Southern Hemisphere) in the polar scope of all the iOptron(R) telescope/camera mounts. The app uses the best algorithm to calculate the position of Pole Star: The algorithm calculates 3D space motion of the Pole Star itself, precession, temperature and barometric pressure corrected atmospheric refraction, nutation, parallax, aberration, and etc.). The overall accuracy of the algorithm has reached sub 0.1 arc-seconds now. The app now using a 10 minute marker reticle, the same reticle used in the polar scope of iOptron(R) telescope mount since 2014. A must have for iOptron(R) SkyGuider Pro, iOptron(R) SkyTracker Pro, SkyGuider and SkyTracker users! Also very helpful for any iOptron(R) telescope mount owners. It may also be used with other brand telescope/camera mounts with similar polar scope reticle. No human interaction required when iOS devices can using location service normally. iOS users can manually enter the location when location service is unavailable.

Für neuen iPod Touch ungeeignet

rs · 11 years ago · v3.1

Während ich das Programm auf meinem alten Touch gerne für das Ausrichten meines Releskops und des Sky Trackers genutzt habe, funktioniert es nun auf dem neuen iPod Toch nicht mehr. Schade.

Only works if GPS is online.

Lupus72 · 12 years ago · v1.01

This app will not let you enter a position manually. It will work only with the position determined by the iOS device. So if this position is not right, it does not work.

Love SkyTracker, but the app could be improve...

Labelme · 12 years ago · v2.01

Just love the SkyTracker, and the app is very usefull so to acurately polar align the mount, but you should add a feature that would simply memorise the locations we used... And -or be able to manually enter the coordinates of our actual location. Would be usefull for those with a non 3G iPad for example... Other than that, this combinaison is best way to start in astrphotography...

Works Well

Very nice app for iOtpron EQ mount owners, it would be nicer is the date actually worked correctly? The date is a year off...the month is off by a month..and the day is off. The actual info on Polaris seems to be correct.

Very useful !

Use it with my iEQ30 and SkyTracker ... Very useful.
