Polarscope for EQ8 mounts (off axis)
Polarscope for EQ8 mounts (off axis)
The polar scope has to be mounted to the right ascension axis and then adjusted using a distant target: rotate the mount's head on its right ascension axis and check the reticle: the center should remain on the selected target. During nighttime target the mount so that Polaris can be seen at the proper place. The constellations on the reticle helps to find the correct position.
These polar scopes can be used on the southern hemisphere as well, thanks to the stars of constellation Octans.
