The iOptron iPolar is an electronic polar scope designed specifically for the SkyGuider Pro camera mount, replacing the traditional optical polar scope with a digital camera-based alignment system. When connected to a Windows or MacOS computer, the iPolar uses dedicated software to calculate the celestial pole's precise location and provide real-time on-screen guidance for accurate polar alignment, even when Polaris or other pole stars are obscured. This precision alignment system is essential for achieving sharp, untrailed images during extended exposures in astrophotography, particularly when using telephoto lenses or at focal lengths exceeding 200mm. The compact, integrated design ensures the SkyGuider Pro remains highly portable while delivering professional-grade alignment accuracy for wide-field and deep-sky imaging.
