rating: 5.0 of 5Skywatcher Polfinder for AZ-EQ5 GoTo mount1
- Details..
- Technical data..
- In the box..
The Skywatcher polfinder only can be used in the parallactic mode of the AZ-EQ5 mount.
Easy to use (example for northern hemisphere):
After a coarse alignment, Polaris is positioned on the inner circle in a way that it is touched by an imaginary line from the central cross to a real star called Kochab - ready!
Suggestions for light-polluted skies or limited view:
With lower requirements, it is possible to do the alignment in twilight: Use an appropriate astronomy app on your smart phone or tablet PC, but hold the device correctly. Polaris is bright enough to bee seen in the polar finder if the mount is roughly aligned to the polar axis via bubble level and compass.
On request, you can get a construction manual for a simple device, similar to a rotatable star chart, which helps to get the right postion of polaris without any constellations. It works only on the northern hemisphere, as Polaris has to be visible.
You can get the device faster by downloading the PDF file: Download the template: Polsucher-Einstellscheibe.pdf Print it out. Stick the printout on cardboard. Cut out the two parts. Make a hole in the middle of both discs. Place the small disc on top of the large disc, scale up. Connect the two parts with a brass fastener / split pin.

"Ein sehr gute gemachtes Polsucher-Fernrohr mit Beleuchtung. Leider ist die Befestigung der Beleuchtung nur im Manual der Montierung erläutert und nicht als Faltblatt dem Polsucher beigefügt. Es ist jedoch eigentlich sehr schade, dass man beim Kauf einer Montierung für fast 1700,- diesen Polsucher separat kaufen und bezahlen muss. Bei der Nutzung als ALT-AZ kann man auf ihn verzichten, aber wenn man die Montierung als EQ verwenden will, führt am Polsucher eigentlich kein Weg vorbei."

"Befestigung nicht eindeutig! Daher nach jeder Neumontierung nach Transport neue Justage des Polsuchers nötig! "
