About PolarisView
An app for Astronomy and Astrophotography enthusiasts that use a German Equatorial Mount for your telescope. PolarisView is a useful utility to assist you while you align your GEM or equatorial mount for your telescope for your astronomy viewing session or for your night of astrophotography. PolarisView will place Polaris on the screen display of your device exactly as you should see it in your polar finder scope. Once you adjust your GEM mount so that the view in your polar finder scope matches the screen display, you are polar aligned for viewing the night sky! The alignment will even get you close enough for short exposure astrophotography as well! For your astronomy viewing sessions, your motorized mount should keep your object in the view all night long! Note that while this application will run on devices in the Southern Hemisphere or near the Equator, you will not be able to use the application to align your mount since Polaris will be below the horizon.

This is exactly what I needed. I've been looking for it since I bought my scope a month ago. It does the job. I only wish the font could be larger. In low light it is difficult for the eye to focus on such a small print.

Helps me a lot, but I think that it would be nice if the developer adds a numbered position of polaris for example 10:30 o'clock. Thanx

I had been looking for an 'easy to use' app to show Polaris position - and this app fits the bill perfectly for me.

This is a great app, very useful. I'd like to see however the actual calculated position of Polaris either in hh:mm or in degrees format. This should not be too complicated to add as the software needs to calculate it anyway to be able to display it.

Does not work.

This is a great app that loads quickly and is utterly simple to use. I use it to double check my HA from my handcontroller to just confirm my P.A. and I can't fault it. Excellent download for the astrophotographer.
