The downloadable Windows and MacOS software processes the camera's images to calculate the true location of the celestial pole (north or south) and then guides you through any adjustments needed to align your mount precisely to the pole. Gone are the days of crouching behind a \"through the mount\" polar scope! Instead, the iPolar™ facilitates making altitude and azimuth adjustments by just glancing at your PC's or Mac's display. This system needs as few as four stars to locate the pole, and can do so even when the pole location itself is blocked by clouds, tree branches or other obstructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eiPolar Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField of View (FOV): ~ 13-degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 30 arcsec approx.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlignment Precision: 30 arcsec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: Mini USB2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware: iPolar Software, downloadable from Files tab or iOptron website\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation System: MacOS 64-bit, Windows 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn The Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePACKAGE CONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkyGuider\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e Pro camera mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlt-az base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Scope:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Polar Scope version: AccuAlign\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e dark field illuminated polar scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiPolar version: iOptron Electronic Polar Scope (iPolar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro USB charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadded carry bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEC mounting bracket w\/ camera mounting disk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.35kg counterweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCW shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"iOptron","offers":[{"title":"Optical Polar Scope","offer_id":30864387309661,"sku":"3550","price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Optical Polar Scope with Precision Az Base","offer_id":44766132601091,"sku":"3550P","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/products\/SGP-New-Body-Color.jpg?v=1608485767"},{"product_id":"ioptron-tripod-1-25-for-ipanostpseqcube","title":"Tripod 1.25\" for SkyTracker Pro, SkyGuider Pro","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;

Thanks to its fast focal ratio and patented optical design, you can produce sharp, detailed images and, in many cases, skip the autoguider completely.

As such, it works well with APS-C sized sensors used in many mirrorless cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamera adapters to connect C-mount cameras and cameras that mount with M42 threads are included.

The design consists of a Schmidt corrector, primary mirror, lens group, and optical window. The lens group contains 4 elements and utilizes rare-earth elements. Unlike many telescopes that only perform well over the visible spectrum (400-700nm), the 8” RASA’s optics are designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 390-800nm. This allows more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith many imaging systems, adding an extra piece of flat glass such as a filter does not change optical performance. However, that is not the case with super-fast optical systems like the RASA. Our engineers addressed this by designing the RASA with a removeable optical window, so you can maintain peak optical performance if a filter is added or if a camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a Light Pollution Imaging Filter designed specifically for the 8” RASA, which mounts in place of the optical window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll refractive optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings, while the primary mirror uses enhanced aluminum coatings. This maintains high light transmission through the entire optical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen compared with “Hyperstar SCT” systems, the RASA 8 provides better optical performance and field illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-specs-list\" class=\"table-open\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOPTICAL TUBE INFO:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody id=\"spec-block-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAperture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e203 mm (8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm (15.74\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ef\/2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral obstruction diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93 mm (3.66\") (46% of aperture diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e843x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Rayleigh)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.68 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Dawes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.57 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Circle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm (.86\") Ø, 3.15°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUseable field\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 mm (1.26\") Ø, 4.6°, only minimal performance loss at edge of FOV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWavelength range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390 - 800 nm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpot size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;

Argon also has superior inertness vs Nitrogen (i.e. forming few or no chemical compounds with other elements) that prevents adverse reactions with eyepiece components and therefore extends the longevity of the internal components, and also prevents chemical reactions with other elemental contaminants that may be introduced through a weakened seal. And, finally because Argon is less conductive of heat than Nitrogen, Argon cools slower thereby buffering the effects of rapid temperature changes of the optics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sealed, dry environment is impervious to internal fogging and contaminants such as fungus growing in between the lens elements. Our waterproof eyepiece is easier to clean, and there is no risk of cleaning solution migrating from the top of the lens and seeping around edges to be trapped in between elements. To insure a perfect seal we test every eyepiece in one meter of water for 30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" height=\"375\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"28%\" bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"70%\" bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003e25mm 100° Series Argon-Purged Waterproof Eyepiece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003eEPWP10025-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e140mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e73mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e41.5oz; 1177g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003eBarrel Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003e2.00\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003eEye Relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#eeeeef\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003eField Stop Diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"#dad4d4\"\u003e41mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15431585595485,"sku":"EPWP10025-01","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/products\/ex100_25.jpg?v=1543008199"},{"product_id":"photron-6-inch-ritchey-chretien-telescope-rc6","title":"Photron 6 inch Ritchey-Chretien (RC6)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOptical tube ONLY. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is not a beginner telescope.\u003c\/strong\u003e No diagonal, eyepieces, mount, or other accessories.
