PARot polar aligner
DESCRIPTION
PARot is a program for ultra fast and precise polar alignment of equatorial mounts. You can easily achieve alignment accuracy better than 1 arcmin in 5 minutes of time. You take one image of the celestial pole, rotate the mount around the RA axis and take another image. The program compares the images and shows you the necessary adjustment. The adjustment process is controlled by the live-liew created by your camera.Requirements:
* A computer with Windows OS (tested with WinXP x64, Win7 x64, Win7 x86).
* Maxim DL version 5.
* A camera which can be controlled from MaxIm.
* A combination of telescope and camera such that the camera can 'see' a star in any field with the exposure time of a few seconds.
* A view of the celestial pole. It can't be blocked, e.g., by ground objects.
* Read the manual please!
Features
- More accurate than the expensive electronic polar finders!
- Works on North and South hemispheres.
- Corrections for atmospheric refraction and precession included.
- No need for internet connection.
- Source files provided under the simplified BSD license
