This version of the iOptron iPolar e-Polarscope comes with an adapter to externally mount the iPolar to your Takahashi equatorial mount. It also comes with a USB cable to connect the iPolar to your PC loaded with Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 OS (32-bit or 64-bit).
With the iPolar e-Polarscope from iOptron, accurate polar alignment has never been so simple! All you have to do is place the plus symbol over the graphical representation of the celestial pole's location. When these two symbols are aligned they represent a precise polar alignment, allowing you to get the best performance possible from your Tak equatorial mount.
The iOptron iPolar™ utilizes an electronic camera that is aligned with both the axes of your mount. The downloadable Windows software processes the camera's images to calculate the true location of the celestial pole (north or south) and then guides you through any adjustments needed to align your mount precisely to the pole.
