Here are a few APPs that can give Polaris orientation in the FOV of a polar scope depending on the observer’s position and local time.
- Android and apple apps: Polar Scope Align Mobile application: Polar Align Ver 4.0, Polar Scope Align Pro (for iOS) or Polar Finder (for Android)
Generally, the orientations are given in time format. The new reticle has a clock like engraving which is compatible with these applications. For polar alignment,rotate the R.A. axis of the mount to put the 0 o’clock of the reticle at the highest position in the FOV of the polar scope, then place the Polaris at the corrent clock position given by the SynScan hand control or other applications.
