Descrizione

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 from 7Timer, OpenWeather, MET Norway and Apple Weather, plus a configurable Multi-source forecast • Animated satellite Cloud Map with recent EUMETSAT and NASA infrared imagery • Aurora forecasts • ISS and bright satellite passes with an All Sky night chart, individual sky charts, 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 • Interactive light pollution map using World Atlas and recent VIIRS data 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 • Configurable Tonight and Multi astronomy weather forecasts • Upcoming bright satellite passes • Aurora probability, activity forecast and NOAA aurora map * 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.

• Redesigned Location Manager. • Redesigned settings screens for all tools, with integrated help. • Xasteria weather improvements: ◦ Redesigned Light Pollution tool with an interactive map using World Atlas 2015 or Xasteria/VIIRS data. Pan, zoom and tap any location for sky brightness and approximate Bortle estimates. Includes road and satellite backgrounds, adjustable opacity, night colours and an expandable information panel. ◦ Dedicated Light Pollution help explaining the data sources, SQM and the subjective nature of Bortle estimates. ◦ New Multi forecast combines 7Timer astronomy data with the optimal short-term forecast from MET.no or Apple Weather. Tap marked disagreements to compare the original data. ◦ New animated Cloud Map using EUMETSAT and NASA GIBS infrared imagery, with a time slider, playback controls and your location marked. ◦ New All Sky Map for Satellites shows the entire night on one chart, with satellite trajectories, a time slider and adjustable playback speed. ◦ Bright and Brightest satellite tabs merged into a single Satellites tab with an instant brightness filter. ◦ Faster satellite pass and sky-map calculations, with progress indication. ◦ New configurable Weather Multi widget with selectable fields, multiple display styles, day/night shading, Moon phase and source update details. ◦ Improved Weather Tonight widget with automatic source selection and a configurable extra row. ◦ Fixed NOAA and water-vapour links. • Optional one-time camera lens alignment to verify and correct the camera when performing azimuth calibration. • Improved iOptron WiFi direction pad, plus a new joystick available throughout the app for manual movement and synchronisation. • Improved DSO database listings, particularly chart and image loading. Long-press an object’s details to copy its data. • A vertical line on DSO database, Lunar Calendar and Weather charts now indicates the current time. • New coordinate units setting: DMS or decimal. • Added Sh2 designations to all Sharpless objects. • Layout fixes for large font settings. • Windowed mode fixes.
