Vai al moduloiOptron iPolar – Electronic Polar Scope for CEM26 and GEM28
The iOptron iPolar is the precision electronic polar scope designed for the CEM26 and GEM28 mounts. Using an integrated camera and the free iPolar software, it enables accurate polar alignment even without direct sight of Polaris, achieving alignment errors below 1 arcminute.
How the iPolar Works
Connect via USB to your PC. The software automatically detects the celestial pole and guides you through azimuth and altitude corrections to achieve optimal polar alignment.
Benefits of Electronic Polar Alignment
- Fast: accurate alignment in minutes
- Works without Polaris visible: ideal at low latitudes or with obstructions
- Higher accuracy than traditional drift alignment
- Free software for Windows
Compatibility and Installation
Installs directly into the dedicated slot on CEM26 or GEM28. Not compatible with CEM26EC/GEM28-EC versions (iPolar already built in).
