User's Manual

NOTE: the field of view (FOV) of an iPolar is about ±6°. So it can only cover the area of about 6°

around the pole. If the mount RA axis is pointed far away from the pole, the plate solve may not be

successful, or the pole will be jumping around.

4.4. Confirm Position 1

As shown in aforementioned picture, if the Plate Solve succeeds, click on “Confirm Position 1”

button. A confirmation window will be popped up. Click on OK to confirm. Do not adjust the tripod or

mount ALT/AZI position after confirming position one. Otherwise, the polar alignment will be failed.

4.5. Rotate RA Axis and Confirm Position 2

Use hand controller or iOptron Commander to rotate the mount in RA. The software will confirm the

position 2 automatically during rotation. The closer the RA axle is to the polar axle, the smaller the

rotation angle. Click OK to close the position 2 confirmation window.
