basic information
This is an electronic compass that supports polar axis alignment of portable equatorial mounts 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) of the equatorial mount at the specified latitude. It is suitable for relatively short exposure astrophotography of star fields and constellations. For long exposure or long focal length photography, precise adjustments using a polar alignment telescope are necessary. The NS-10 can be attached to the telescope's equatorial mount; however, this method is not suitable for high-magnification photography, but it is fine for simple observations and low-magnification photography.
