Omegon EQ-500 X polar finder
The EQ-500X Polar Finder
For more dots and less dashes: With this you can quickly find the celestial pole
Clear sky, the starry sky shines. The camera is ready, the astrophoto is waiting. But how do I align the EQ-500X mount as accurately and easily as possible? So your mount doesn't produce lines, but your camera tracks them with pinpoint accuracy. This pole finder is a first class tool with which you can align your mount exactly with the north celestial pole in just a few steps. For astronomical photos that inspire.
The advantages at a glance:
Polar finder suitable for the EQ-500X mount - simply screw it onto the mount
Alignment of the mount with the invisible North Celestial Pole is achieved in just a few minutes.
It is the foundation for you to take astrophotography with precise tracking.
Reticle Big Dipper and Cassiopeia: This is how you steer your mount without numerical stunts.
Focusable: adjustable sharpness
Multi-coated optics provide more contrast because you can see Polaris better.
Tip: Your EQ-500X mount is already set up to accommodate your polar finder. Installation is easy: a thread ensures a permanent fixation.
Simple but precise alignment with the Big Dipper
A great help for precise alignment: the polar finder has markings of the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia. Simply rotate the telescope axis around its pivot point until the mark points in the same direction as the current position of the two constellations. It's easy and spontaneous!
This allows you to find the true celestial pole in a few simple steps. Stop worrying about complicated numbers and data scales. One thing is for sure: all beginners can handle it.
Also suitable for the southern sky: As in the Big Dipper, you will also discover the southern fill and the southern cross in the reticule.
12-hour scale: other simple methods of polar adjustment
A 12-hour layover gives you a clear second way to get north of Mt. The advantage: the brand resembles a watch face and is therefore immediately known to everyone. Thanks to the numbers from 1 to 12, you will instantly know where to place the pole star in relation to the celestial pole.
This method is particularly popular if you use one of the smartphone apps for aligning mounts, because thanks to the fine subdivision you can exactly understand the current position of Polaris in the sky.
The polar finder is focusable
Individually adjustable for each observer: The Omegon polar scope has its own diopter adjustment, i.e. a rotary wheel with which you can adjust the sharpness to your eye. So you always have a clear view of the graphic markings and the North Star.
