The app brings extensive information on polar alignment and how to align your post scope in the first place. It helped me a lot.

Beschreibung
Apart from the most reliable app for polar alignment (with or without a polar scope), PS Align pro has become the astronomer's swiss-army knife with all the tools added over the years. Remember, all features & updates are free forever, the only in-app purchases are donations (tip jar).
Polar Scope Align will calculate the position of Polaris or σ Octantis in your Polar Scope reticle for your location (using your phone's GPS or manually), allowing a quick and accurate polar alignment. It is one of the few programs that are accurate in lower latitudes by correcting for atmospheric refraction (so expect results to agree only with precise software and not most simplistic "polar align" apps - see the "Accuracy" section in help for details). In the settings you can select the polar scope reticle that matches your own, from a vast collection:
iOptron old & new, Astro-Physics RAPAS & PASILL, various versions of Takahashi EM-10/11/200/400/500, NJP, PM-1, P2-Z, the latest Orion / Skywatcher, the Classic Skywatcher / Orion / Celestron / Meade / EXOS2 / Bresser, the Telrad, Rigel QuikFinder, a couple for Astrotrac / Losmandy / Kenko / Avalon, the Vixen PF-L/Atlux/SX/SXD/SXP/AXD/GP/GP-DX/Polarie Polar Axis Scopes, a Konus and several Polar Finders: Tuthill, Explore Scientific 8x50, Meade 9x60, Vixen Polaris, Celestron 7x50, Carton Optical. PoleMaster help view for South Hemisphere users. If you have one not included, just ask the developer to add it!
Feature list:
-Accurate calculation of Polaris or Sigma Oct for any date and location, including effect of atmospheric refraction (and annual aberration, nutation). Most other apps do not perform precision calculations, so please only compare app readings to accurate sources (USNO, scientific software etc).
-Use device time/date/location, or enter your own, or pick from online & offline world databases via the Location Manager.
-Approximate daytime / no polarscope polar alignment tool. Great for visual use, solar imaging (inc. eclipses) and even limited short focal length astrophotography. Now with sun shadow calibration for more accuracy!
-Laser / Hop Align for nighttime alignment using a calibration star for obstructed or not visible polar star, or for improving laser align.
-Full app in red-color (or alternative green, white) night mode - tools switchable to daytime view.
-Deep Space Object (DSO) Database with 22000+ objects from several catalogs (Messier, Caldwell, NGC, IC, Herschell 400, Sharpless 2, Barnard), along with stars (Yale Bright Star) & planets. Search, apply filters, sorting, download DSS color images for all items, or get help finding them with your non-goto telescope with the Push-To function.
-Connect to and control WiFi-enabled iOptron mounts.
-Over 30 calculators useful for observing and astrophotography, from eyepiece magnification and field of view, to imaging resolution and reducers.
-Xasteria: World astro-weather report based on multiple sources, including 7Timer.
-Water vapor satellite images.
-List of visible ISS and bright satellite passes.
-Moon phase & lunar Calendar with solar/lunar rise/set and twilight times.
-Wizard to calculate your reticle centering offset and correct or compensate for it.
-Zoomable reticle view and customized routines & tools: Alt-az alignment error display for mounts that calculate it after star alignment (e.g. iOptron iEQ45, CEM60), polar alignment when your scope is not in zero position (for mounts like iOptron ZEQ/CEM on which you can always access the polar scope), remember zero position on Celestron / Skywatcher / Orion etc reticles.
-Bubble level (using either gyro or accelerometer) and Compass heading, as well as magnetic declination reading.
-GPS accuracy & elevation data.
-Red/White/LED light.
-Dimming slider.
-iOptron, NexStar and Meade LX200 Star Lists.
-Support for iPhone & iPad from iOS 9 (and iPod Touch, except tools that require the compass).
Neue Funktionen von Version 6.5
Please support the app by rating or reviewing! You will never get any annoying in-app popups asking you to do so.
Here's what's new:
- Added decimal degrees as an option for coordinate entry in the Location Manager.
- Improved DSO DB searching help, added button above the keyboard to access it.
- Bubble level / compass tool shows both True/Geographic and Magnetic north heading, at 0.5° resolution. 5° tick marks added to the compass.
Xasteria changes:
- Improved contrast on weather views for both text and icons.
- Link to Cloud Free Nights for Australia/NZ users.
- Fixed Sat24 zoom issue.
- Show last good weather forecast on update failure.
- Avoid possible crash with bad Apple Weather data.

Das Justieren meines StarAdventure ist dank der App ein Kinderspiel. Daher halte ich diese gut gemachte und daher preiwerte App für unverzichtbar für die Astrofotographie.

Ich muss echt sagen das Geld für die Pro Version ist mehr als nur gut aufgehoben. Super App geniale Funktionen und Möglichkeiten. Einfach nur Lobenswert
Sehr gute App für das Einnorden eines Teleskops

Version 5.4
Für sehr wenig Geld bekommt man alles was man zum Einnorden benötigt. Es lohnt sich mal alle Help-Dialog anzusehen. Dort finden sich tolle Tips und Möglichkeiten wie das Einnorden noch besser geht. Auch für alle Standard-Probleme wie RA-Achse ist nicht 100% mittig zentriert oder die Null Markierung ist nicht 100% eingestellt. Besser gehts nicht außer mit Drift-Alignment.
Simply the best!

Really easy setup and usage.
Also perfect for planning your astronomy session, it‘s easy to check weather, precipitation, clouds etc.
Includes pretty much everything you will ever need for setting up telescopes and star trackers.
Perfect Astro companion

This app was already great when I first bought. It is growing in useful functionality ever since. It has become my companion in all my Astronomy endeavors.

I use this tool almost every time I set up my equipment. Helps enormously getting the rough polar alignment done while there's still some light. Also has a lot of other information available too. I recommend this app.

Hervorragende App und jeden Cent wert. Ich nutze sie zum einnorden meiner Star Adventurer, sie zeigt das exakte Fadenkreuz. Die Zusatzfunktionen sind sehr praktisch, die Bedienung auch praxisorientiert. Super ist die Integration von Clear Outside und Meteoblue. Und das alles zum Preis eines belegten Brötchens.
Simple and easy

That's THE app to align my Skywatcher Star Adventurer in the field. Perfect for that task!
99% of the additional features I personally don't need but other people might want the one or other calculator etc.
