• Speed and Convenience - You do not need to kneel or contort your body to look through the polar scope or level your mount
• Accuracy - With a high precision camera, one can achieve accuracy not achievable with the naked eye
• A wide field of view makes it very easy to locate the pole star
• PoleMaster can be easily installed onto any equatorial mount through mount-specific adapters, even on mounts without a polar scope
• By using PoleMaster you can monitor your polar alignment in real time. 3 star alignment is no longer needed

PoleMaster - A High-Precision, Easy to Use Electronic Polar Scope for Astronomy and Astrophotography - The Best Camera and Software Available for polar alignment. As any seasoned astro imager would agree, achieving good polar alignment is not an easy task. You may spend hours under precious dark sky trying to get that perfect polar alignment, but in the end you may not know whether good alignment has in fact been achieved. Even after you have obtained good alignment, a gentle knock on the mount may send the polar alignment off and you may have no other choice but to start from scratch again. With an hour here and an hour there trying to get polar aligned, it soon will be dawn and time to pack up the gear. The PoleMaster is a great solution to this problem. The PoleMaster is an innovative product pioneered by QHYCCD to relieve the pain of polar alignment. Using PoleMaster and following a few simple, easy-to-follow, steps you can achieve perfect polar alignment in 2-3 minutes, with an accuracy of up to 30 arc seconds. How does PoleMaster work? The idea is actually fairly simple. You find out where the pole is, then determine the mechanical axis of rotation of your mount, and make the two coincide. While the idea is simple, it has never been implemented in a commercial product - until now. PoleMaster makes use of a super sensitive wide field imaging camera along the axis of RA to monitor the polar region in real time . From the positions of these stars PoleMaster can determine the position of the true pole and compare that to the mechanical axis of RA rotation. Polar alignment is now a simple matter of moving the two centers of rotation so they overlap. Piece of cake!
