Polar Scope Align Pro is a Utilities app by Dimitrios Kechagias. Apart from the most reliable app for polar alignment (with or without a polar scope), PS Align pro has become the astronomer's swiss-army knife with all the tools added over the years. Remember, all features & updates are free forever, the only in-app purchases are donations (tip jar).

APK (Android Package Kit) files are the raw files of an Android app. Learn how to install polar-scope-align-pro.apk file on your phone in 4 Simple Steps:
Yes. We provide some of the safest Apk download mirrors for getting the Polar Scope Align Pro apk.
1. -Zoomable reticle view and customized routines & tools: Alt-az alignment error display for mounts that calculate it after star alignment (e.g. iOptron iEQ45, CEM60), polar alignment when your scope is not in zero position (for mounts like iOptron ZEQ/CEM on which you can always access the polar scope), remember zero position on Celestron / Skywatcher / Orion etc reticles.
2. iOptron old & new, Astro-Physics RAPAS & PASILL, various versions of Takahashi EM-10/11/200/400/500, NJP, PM-1, P2-Z, the latest Orion / Skywatcher, the Classic Skywatcher / Orion / Celestron / Meade / EXOS2 / Bresser, the Telrad, Rigel QuikFinder, a couple for Astrotrac / Losmandy / Kenko / Avalon, the Vixen PF-L/Atlux/SX/SXD/SXP/AXD/GP/GP-DX/Polarie Polar Axis Scopes, a Konus and several Polar Finders: Tuthill, Explore Scientific 8x50, Meade 9x60, Vixen Polaris, Celestron 7x50, Carton Optical.
3. Polar Scope Align will calculate the position of Polaris or σ Octantis in your Polar Scope reticle for your location (using your phone's GPS or manually), allowing a quick and accurate polar alignment.
4. It is one of the few programs that are accurate in lower latitudes by correcting for atmospheric refraction (so expect results to agree only with precise software and not most simplistic "polar align" apps - see the "Accuracy" section in help for details).
5. Apart from the most reliable app for polar alignment (with or without a polar scope), PS Align pro has become the astronomer's swiss-army knife with all the tools added over the years.
6. -Laser / Hop Align for nighttime alignment using a calibration star for obstructed or not visible polar star, or for improving laser align.
7. -Approximate daytime / no polarscope polar alignment tool.
8. -Accurate calculation of Polaris or Sigma Oct for any date and location, including effect of atmospheric refraction (and annual aberration, nutation).
9. Most other apps do not perform precision calculations, so please only compare app readings to accurate sources (USNO, scientific software etc).
10. -Deep Space Object (DSO) Database with 22000+ objects from several catalogs (Messier, Caldwell, NGC, IC, Herschell 400, Sharpless 2, Barnard), along with stars (Yale Bright Star) & planets.
11. -Full app in red-color (or alternative green, white) night mode - tools switchable to daytime view.

I use the app to visually check and get the mount on target every time. My mount was built in 2006, and thanks to this app , I am continually amazed by how easy the alignment process can be done ,visually. Fine alignment is accomplished using the Pole master finder app, as a redundant check. Using both, the NJP mount continues to acquire, point and track, any desired object in the observable night sky. Thank you for making such a useful product, All the additional calcs work beautifully as well , taking a lot of the prep headaches off the table for any visual or astrophotographers planning and executing a night under the night skies Cheers!
Totally worth getting, lots of info, great tools for polar aligning.
I’m a new user of this great app. I own the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i mount with built in wifi. It seems your app doesn’t support the Star Adventurer’s polar scope.
This is an excellent well thought out utility with needed services all in one place. It always works smoothly and is very logical. Very ingenious collection of necessities.
I always find something new when I open it.
