Polar Scope Align Pro Watch

I’ve been using this app for about a year now and it has become indispensable in aligning my scope when I bring it out for photo sessions. I have arranged my scope so that my phone will rest on it, aligned with the optical axis. I then use the Daytime/No Polarscope Alignment feature to line up on the North Celestial Pole. I do my final polar alignment when it gets dark using the alignment feature in scope control software (EKOS) and Polar Scope Align Pro has gotten me so close already it has saved me quite a bit of time each evening. The leveling feature of the app has been much more accurate than the bubble balance built into my mount as well. I know I haven’t scratched the surface yet but these features alone make it well worth the small investment.

Been in the application for less than 15 minutes while using “Sky View”. They are both great tools on their own and fantastic together. Thank you for helping in my Astrophotography adventure.

I use this every single time I take my telescope out. There are too many features that I use to list them all. Read the apps description for that list. However, I start with the daytime polar scope alignment app to get my mount roughly aligned. Then, I use the reticle display for precise alignment once the stars are visible. I love this app. I have purchased several others related to astronomy that have various purposes. Of all of them, this is the most functional, and the one that I most often use.
