First, if you feel the need to focus the polar scope, please follow this guide: https://www.moveshootmove.com/blogs/faqs-in-general/how-to-focus-the-polar-scope-type-a

 

 

North Hemisphere:

1. Mount the illuminator provided to the polar scope. With the light it gives, you can see the reticle better in the dark.

Please mount it at the end of the polar scope, and shine it with a light source like a headlamp or phone light, it will glow in dark. (Please test it in a dark room or dark environment).

 

2. For iOS users, please download and open the app "Polar Scope Align Pro"; For  Android users, please download and open the app “Polar Finder Pro”.  Select the iOptron reticle.

4. Adjust your tracker's gesture until Polaris in the polar scope's reticle is on the same circle position as "Polar Scope Align Pro" or “Polar Finder Pro” shows.

 

South Hemisphere:

1. Mount the illuminator provided to the polar scope. Tighten it by the screw at the tube end. With the green light it gives, you can see the reticle better in the dark. 

      

2. Find the Octant in the Sky, Adjust your tracker's gesture until the "Octans" icon in the scope matches its actual orientation in the sky.
