Digital Compass POLE FINDER NS-10 GPS
Digital Compass for Equatorial Mount POLE FINDER NS-10 GPS - Smooth polar axis alignment even in dark places without seeing the North Star.
This is an electronic compass that supports the alignment of the polar axis of a portable equatorial mount during celestial observation and photography. It has a built-in 9-axis sensor, allowing for easy and quick setting of the polar axis (towards Polaris) at the configured latitude. By using the included GPS module, it can automatically set the magnetic declination and latitude information for the location of use. (The automatically set magnetic declination value is only valid within Japan; manual setting is required overseas.) It is suitable for relatively short exposure astrophotography of star fields and constellations. For long exposures or photography with long focal length lenses, precise adjustments using a polar alignment telescope or similar tools are necessary. The magnetic declination values are based on the information published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan in 2020.
