Works Well
Thanks for continuing to support this app and the tracker.
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.

iOptron Optical Polar Scope Reviews
Love SkyTracker, but the app could be improve...
Just love the SkyTracker, and the app is very usefull so to acurately polar align the mount, but you should add a feature that would simply memorise the locations we used... And -or be able to manually enter the coordinates of our actual location. Would be usefull for those with a non 3G iPad for example... Other than that, this combinaison is best way to start in astrphotography...
Only works if GPS is online.
This app will not let you enter a position manually. It will work only with the position determined by the iOS device. So if this position is not right, it does not work.
Don’t use this anymore. Get ds align
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.
Do not buy - very weak functionality
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.
Yep...not good
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...
Not American English
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.
Hopeless App..
I feel ripped-off! I’m in the southern hemisphere and can’t figure out how to use the darn thing to find sigma-oct! Piece of junk!!
GREAT APP!!!
If I haven’t used it for awhile I forget how great an app it really is. Simple, accurate, and easy. That’s what I want when out in the dark. ;) Thanks!!
Awesome
Works perfectly every time! This app get my polar aligned perfectly and keeps the stars pin pointed and without any star trails
