Polar Scope Align Pro for PC

★ ★ ★ Polar Scope Align Pro Overview

What is Polar Scope Align Pro?

PS Align Pro is an app designed for astronomers that offers a range of tools and features to aid in polar alignment, deep space object identification, and astrophotography. The app is accurate in lower latitudes by correcting for atmospheric refraction and offers a vast collection of polar scope reticles to choose from. The app also includes over 30 calculators, a DSO database, and a range of other features such as a moon phase calendar, bubble level, and compass heading.

Software Features and Description

1. -Zoomable reticle view and customized routines & tools: Alt-az alignment error display for mounts that calculate it after star alignment (e.g. iOptron iEQ45, CEM60), polar alignment when your scope is not in zero position (for mounts like iOptron ZEQ/CEM on which you can always access the polar scope), remember zero position on Celestron / Skywatcher / Orion etc reticles.

2. iOptron old & new, Astro-Physics RAPAS & PASILL, various versions of Takahashi EM-10/11/200/400/500, NJP, PM-1, P2-Z, the latest Orion / Skywatcher, the Classic Skywatcher / Orion / Celestron / Meade / EXOS2 / Bresser, the Telrad, Rigel QuikFinder, a couple for Astrotrac / Losmandy / Kenko / Avalon, the Vixen PF-L/Atlux/SX/SXD/SXP/AXD/GP/GP-DX/Polarie Polar Axis Scopes, a Konus and several Polar Finders: Tuthill, Explore Scientific 8x50, Meade 9x60, Vixen Polaris, Celestron 7x50, Carton Optical.

3. Polar Scope Align will calculate the position of Polaris or σ Octantis in your Polar Scope reticle for your location (using your phone's GPS or manually), allowing a quick and accurate polar alignment.

4. It is one of the few programs that are accurate in lower latitudes by correcting for atmospheric refraction (so expect results to agree only with precise software and not most simplistic "polar align" apps - see the "Accuracy" section in help for details).

5. Apart from the most reliable app for polar alignment (with or without a polar scope), PS Align pro has become the astronomer's swiss-army knife with all the tools added over the years.

6. -Laser / Hop Align for nighttime alignment using a calibration star for obstructed or not visible polar star, or for improving laser align.

7. -Approximate daytime / no polarscope polar alignment tool.

8. -Accurate calculation of Polaris or Sigma Oct for any date and location, including effect of atmospheric refraction (and annual aberration, nutation).

9. -Deep Space Object (DSO) Database with 22000+ objects from several catalogs (Messier, Caldwell, NGC, IC, Herschell 400, Sharpless 2, Barnard), along with stars (Yale Bright Star) & planets.

10. Most other apps do not perform precision calculations, so please only compare app readings to accurate sources (USNO, scientific software etc).

11. -Over 30 calculators useful for observing and astrophotography, from eyepiece magnification and field of view, to imaging resolution and reducers.

Top Pcmac Reviews

Surprisingly Useful

By Annoyed consumer 6613 (Pcmac user)

I purchased the Pro version to give it a try and help me setup an Orion Atlas Pro mount. The app was surprisingly easy to use with great functionality. It can be as easy as opening it up to see what position to align your mount or dive into more detail about various objects in the sky and where they’re located. You can change the mount type being setup for a variety of brands that any backyard astronomer would be familiar with. Additionally, there’s an exceedingly huge catalog of information under the menu. Press the cog wheel and you open up the object list which was a delightful addition that justified supporting the app and purchasing the Pro version.
New to Tracking—Very Helpful!

By kjdfkifIUFIUWFUEWW (Pcmac user)

I recently bought my first tracking mount, iOptron SkyGuider Pro, and found it much easier to find the app alignment with this app. Same for solar alignment—a little difficult to find a way to mount the phone (which is not the app’s fault), but kept the sun in my camera’s viewfinder at 500mm for more than an hour. Probably could be better if I worked harder on it, but I was able to get an ISS transit. I wish I bought this before the 2017 eclipse!
Keeps getting better

By JAYhawker!! (Pcmac user)

I've been using this app for over a year. It was great when I started it and gets better with added functionality after each update. I seem to find hidden gems tucked in the app quite often as well. The Pro version gives me the best ROI by far compared to any other app I have on my iPad and iPhone. The app is also the most used astronomy/Astro photography app in my arsenal. Absolutely, feature-packed TOP-SHELF app.
All in one tool box!

By JoeyBocc (Pcmac user)

This makes the arduous task of setting up my EQ Mount soo much easier. This app is just packed with features. The bubble level/compass is especially useful when getting my mount roughly orientated. Love the display of date/time/location all in one shot. It has weather/observing conditions.. really this has just about everything you need. So happy I found it. Thank you for creating this!
