Even more fun
…now that you can run it from your laptop. You don’t even have to wake the phone up.
Many Extras
I got this app for the real time polar alignment scope reticle simulation. That’s the main feature, but I find myself using this app for planning my observations with the deep sky and solar system object database or leveling mounts even when I don’t need a polar alignment.
It has tons of extra info and features beyond the polar alignment scope!
I also appreciate that the pro version is a one time fee and not a subscription. Thank you!
If the developer added a feature (or created a new app) to record my observations in association with the object database, I’d be first in line to buy that.

5 stars!! 5 Thumbs up never failed me, get the full version you won’t regret it!!
Best App
Real joy to use. Keep pushing …
Simply the best
This is the best $3.99 CAN I have spent on an app in a long time! Super easy to do a daytime polar alignment. Tested on the sun today and it kept the sun in the center for 2hrs!
Brilliant
An amazing app, the daytime polar alignment tool is great for us in the Southern hemisphere with no pole star.
Virtual alignment with Polar star
As for a 5 year review of the virtual polar alignment, I have had a better experience. My mount is the EM-11 temma 3 Takahashi and I suspect it has an aluminum body. Even that compass was deflected by the mount proxy, however I attach my iPhone to the mount body and aligned it as programmed. I spot the moon which is obviously the largest celestial object (30” arc minutes) and the mount sat still for 30 minutes perfectly on target without drifting at a magnification 75 times

Best app ever
One of the best apps I’ve ever used. My main tool for all my astronomy work. Highly recommended
Indispensable!
Absolutely brilliant app. Makes polar alignment of my equatorial mount an absolute doddle compared to what it used to be. The developer is very helpful too, I had made my own polar scope using low cost lenses and reticle from eBay. I enquired about adding my reticle and a couple of weeks later it was included but with extra features I hadn’t even considered. Stop struggling with the ( vague ) instructions from your telescope mount manual and get this app, I guarantee you won’t regret it. You can even use the daytime alignment feature to get your mount a hairs width from perfection while waiting for nightfall. And there’s a host of other tools.

The Swiss Army Knife for Astronomers
I have this App and finally dug into it and use it like a multi-purpose tool. It has so much packed inside- you won’t believe it!
I had to send the developer a Tip $. If you need help with polar alignment, weather, DSO information, etc.. its here.
