  1. POLEMASTERElectronic PolarScope by Jim Frisbie 11 March 2017

  2. What is the Polemaster • A Revolutionary Polar Alignment Tool • Break through for Nomad Astronomer • Easy to Use • Reasonably Priced

  3. Why Polar Align? • Counter act effects of Earth’s Rotation • Simplify Tracking • Improve Pointing Accuracy • Counteract Field Rotation

  4. Three Levels: Polar Alignment • Rough (point the mount North...) • Fine (Polar Scope) • Precise (Drift Alignment... PoleMaster)

  5. How To: Rough Polar Alignment • Set Up Mount • Point it North • Adjust Alt & Azim to Aim at Polaris (N. Hemisphere Only) • All you need for Visual Observing

  6. Fine Polar Alignment

  7. Fine Polar Alignment

  8. Fine Polar Alignment

  9. Precise Polar Alignment • Drift Alignment • PoleMaster

  10. Polar Scope Results…

  11. PoleMaster First Use...

  12. PoleMaster Deux...

  13. PoleMaster Results…

  14. PoleMaster Basic Steps • Double Click on Polaris • Rotate Template to Align adjacent stars • Pick a star other than Polaris • Rotate Mount 2X ~ 30 degrees • Return Mount Home & Watch Arc Struck • Adjust Mount to put Polaris in rotating circle • Adjust Mount to overlay red & green boxes

  15. PoleMaster… Refraction

  16. Fine vs Precise… • Polar Scope avg = 6.19 Arc Minutes • PoleMaster avg = 0.78 Arc Minutes • 6.19 / 0.78 = 7.9X more accurate • Additional PoleMaster Accuracy… • Refraction Index = 0.91 Arc Seconds
