Polar Scope Align Pro

Beschreibung

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 • Sun Finder helps you point your filtered telescope/telephoto to the Sun 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 XASTERIA ASTRO WEATHER • Hourly astronomy forecasts (7Timer, OpenWeather, MET Norway, Apple Weather) • Aurora forecasts • ISS and bright satellite passes with sky chart, live map tracking, and Tiangong and Hubble views • Solar eclipse tool with past and future eclipses, live mode with audio cues • Experimental eclipse camera for automated photoshoots of partial phase, diamond ring, Baily's beads, totality bracketing • Light pollution data from the World Atlas and recent VIIRS satellite radiance CALCULATORS & TOOLS • 30+ calculators for observing and astrophotography • Moon phase calendar with altitude graphs • Solar eclipse calculator and simulator • Bubble level & Compass IOPTRON WIFI MOUNT CONTROL • Connect to WiFi-enabled iOptron mounts (HAE, HAZ, HEM, CEM, GEM and more) • Automatic date/time/location setup • Switch between Equatorial and Alt-Az on mounts that support both • Move & Sync: directional control with a live sky map • Point GoTo: aim your phone at a patch of sky and send the mount there • Current Point Query: find out what the mount is pointing at • GoTo any object from the DSO Database NIGHT-FRIENDLY • Red, green or white night mode with dimmer WIDGETS • Tonight's weather, satellite passes and aurora forecast * Full list of supported reticles: Astro-Physics RAPAS & PASILL, iOptron, the latest Orion / Skywatcher, the Classic Skywatcher / Orion / Celestron / Meade / EXOS2 / Bresser / MSM, various versions of Takahashi EM-10/11/200/400/500, NJP, PM-1, P2-Z, the Telrad, Rigel QuikFinder, a couple for Astrotrac / Losmandy / Kenko / Avalon, the Vixen PF-L/Atlux/SX/SXD/SXP/AXD/GP/GP-DX/Polarie Polar Axis Scopes, a Konus and several Polar Finders: Tuthill, Explore Scientific 8x50, Meade 9x60, Vixen Polaris, Celestron 7x50, Carton Optical. PoleMaster help view for South Hemisphere users.

• Xasteria astro weather: ◦ Solar Eclipse tool improvements, including past eclipses and audio cues in live mode. ◦ Experimental Camera tool in the Eclipse simulator for automated eclipse photoshoots: diamond ring, Baily's beads and bracketed totality exposures. ◦ New light pollution data option, extrapolated from the World Atlas using VIIRS 2025 satellite night-light radiance. ◦ Live map tracking of the ISS and satellites, pass simulation, and dedicated Tiangong and Hubble views. ◦ New Sunrise / Twilight setting for the weather tonight widgets. ◦ Weather tonight complication and widget for Apple Watch. • Daytime Alignment: crosshair / target can now be adjusted on the Camera Azimuth Calibration confirmation screen. • Sun Finder added: a Push To that guides you to the Sun (found in Daytime Alignment). • DSO Database: new Double / Multiple Stars category. • iOptron WiFi Connect: ◦ Support for all the newer mounts (HAE, HAZ, HEM and others), with switching between Equatorial and Alt-Az on mounts that support both. ◦ New Move & Sync Mount tool and Point GoTo tool, both with sky maps. ◦ Current Point Query updated with a sky map. ◦ Mount time and location set automatically. • Elevation can be entered for manual locations, and UTC is available as a time zone option. • UI improvements, most notably a clickable location dropdown and a new landscape setting on iPhone that lets most tools work in landscape. • Fixes, including the Hop To / Laser Align targeting display. Remember, the app never nags you with popups, so it gets very few ratings/reviews. Support it by rating it!
