PoleMaster Is Coming This November

You've probably seen PoleMaster on QHYCCD Facebook page. Long story short, we will have them in stock this mid November. 

Many of us have faced varying degrees of challenges to polar align our equatorial mount. Be it neck pain, stress on the knees or accidentally kicking the tripod, you must have had some of these frustrations down the load. PoleMaster allows you to do polar alignment at the comfort in front of your computer to a high degree of precision. While it will not help you align your mount mechanically, you can easily tell the true north position from your screen and adjust your mount accordingly without squatting, kneeling or whatever pose you favour to look through the polar scope.

PoleMaster is very simple to use. Simply attach it to the RA axis of your mount with mount specific adapter, with Polaris and the surrounding region visible, PoleMaster software will do a plate solve and show you the current pointing of RA axis and the true north position. Overlap these two circles and you are good to go. QHYCCD claims this can be done within 2 minutes. We're very eager to verify this figure. 

Some hard facts:

Now the good news. The PoleMaster will be available by mid November at $199*. We will be taking pre-order soon. Mount adapter information will be updated in a short while.

We won't keep you wait for too long. ;)

* The first batch is available at $199 and limited to 15 units. Second batches onwards, the price will be $299 both inclusive of mount adapters.

Cheers,
Robin.
