ALCCD-QHY PoleMaster - Elektronic Polar Finder
The ALccd-QHY PoleMaster is an innovative electronic polar alignment aid for almost any astronomical mount. With the PoleMaster, you do not need a polar finder, the image is formed by a small lens, electronics with a sensitive CMOS sensor and an intelligent software. For the adjustment procedure, the view to the polar region has to be unobstructed.

As an experiment, the ALccd-QHY PoleMaster was attached to to an NEQ6 mount, the calibration was carried out. Directly after, automatic guiding was stopped in both axes for recording the deviation over a period of 10 minutes. Within 30 minutes, the deviation in declination is only 1.5". This means an alignment error of max. 18". This is a really remarkable and very good magnitude for such a little tool.

"war beim ersten Einsatz leider ausser Fokus und musste ihn zuerst richtig einstellen. Jedoch gleich beim ersten Einsatz besseres Auto Guiding als jemals zuvor. "

"Herunterladen der Treiber unübersichtlich. Fehlendes Handbuch für den deutschen Markt ist eine Frechheit."

"Funktioniert gut! Die Umstellung auf deutsche Sprache in der Software ist eine Zumutung. Da hat man nur die Suchmaschine zum übersetzen bemüht. Wirklich schlecht gemacht. Hoffe es gibt ein update. Dann 5 Sterne Verarbeitung sehr gut. "
