QHY’s PoleMaster is a neat little piece of astrophotography equipment that makes polar aligning your equatorial mount quick, easy, and accurate. In this video we take a look at the hardware of the PoleMaster, how it pairs with the software to polar align your mount, and how it compares to using SharpCap Pro and a manual polar scope.
