Best documentation ever
Complex app for complex problems. Take the time to read the documentation, really well done and very useful for any astronomer
Accurate, Easy
This app makes a polar align easy. I’ve completed alignments then done a plate solve to find I’m well within 2 degrees.
Awesome App
I use this every single time I take my telescope out. There are too many features that I use to list them all. Read the apps description for that list. However, I start with the daytime polar scope alignment app to get my mount roughly aligned. Then, I use the reticle display for precise alignment once the stars are visible. I love this app. I have purchased several others related to astronomy that have various purposes. Of all of them, this is the most functional, and the one that I most often use.

Watch Version Needs Help
As for the app used with phone all seems great, the issue I have is with phone version it’s very very slow and nearly worthless. Is this a known issue?
Response from developer
Hello, thanks for the feedback. I assume you mean the *watch* app is very slow? It depends on how slow you mean, the watch <-> iphone communication speed is quite limited so since everything is rendered on the phone, there is a lag displaying on the watch. Is there a specific screen that is slow? You could use the contact form on astro.ecuadors.net to see what I can do.
Best polar alignment tool after the polar scope itself!
Do you think your polar alignment scope is enough to align your mount for astroimaging? Think twice! This little app takes into account precession, refraction, aberration and a ton of other phenomena to achieve exceptional precision.
Awesome
As good as any other far more sophisticated and expensive method.
A Great Bargain!!
There are so many “ apps within this app” that it could replace several other apps I have on my phone. The Polaris finder is accurate and easy to use and the Moon calendar and DSO calendar make planning observing runs easier.
Excellent app
This is one App you want before observing while setting up your scope. Helps accurately align to the celestial pole, and has useful lists of objects as well.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Very useful
Even works for us Aussies down under 👍
Very handy Swiss Army knife for astronomy.
I use this all the time for polar alignment and scope setup. Love the new features in the pro version.
