Pole Star Assistant
Description (

)
This is an app to show the position of the Pole Star (Polaris in Northern Hemisphere, or Sigma Octantis in Southern Hemisphere) in the polar scope of all the iOptron(R) telescope/camera mounts. The app uses the best algorithm to calculate the position of Pole Star: The algorithm calculates 3D space motion of the Pole Star itself, precession, temperature and barometric pressure corrected atmospheric refraction, nutation, parallax, aberration, and etc.). The overall accuracy of the algorithm has reached sub 0.1 arc-seconds now. The app now using a 10 minute marker reticle, the same reticle used in the polar scope of iOptron(R) telescope mount since 2014. A must have for iOptron(R) SkyGuider Pro, iOptron(R) SkyTracker Pro, SkyGuider and SkyTracker users! Also very helpful for any iOptron(R) telescope mount owners. It may also be used with other brand telescope/camera mounts with similar polar scope reticle. No human interaction required when iOS devices can using location service normally. iOS users can manually enter the location when location service is unavailable.}

Shows polar position that is not accurate. Its position varies at different times of day even if you are standing on the same position/location.

Minimal function compared to other polar align apps. Installed and tested for less than 1 minute.. absolutely useless and I want my money back!

This one is only for ioptron with very limited functionality. No new features after all these years. I use DS align now, support many many other mounts polar scope and so much more functionality. Even has a iwatch version.

It tells you where Polaris is located for your current time and location. But with no options or way to configure the display (other than English / Chinese). Other apps do this as well but with plenty of options for customization. It might be OK if it were free, but it is dismal at $1.99.

Purchased and no instructions or troubleshooting guide. Couldn’t even figure out how to contact the developer. I can’t even give it a rating...I guess I’ll have to buy ZWO...

The elevation is in metric not much help in the USA. If it can be converted to Chinese why not USA measurements? I’m not knocking metric but I’ve spent 60 years using feet ,miles and Fahrenheit. So only half of this app is of any use for me. It’s only good for alignment I should have paid better attention and not assumed it was for the US market. I can use it but I won’t have a clue about my elevation.
