Skywatcher Polar Scope for EQ5, NEQ6 and AZEQ6 mounts

The Skywatcher Polar Scope for EQ5 NEQ6 and AZEQ6 mounts is a practical accessory designed to make polar alignment quicker and more precise. A polar scope improves the precision of your polar alignment three-fold compared to standard polar alignment methods, helping you set up your mount with greater confidence and accuracy.

To use it, attach the Skywatcher Polar Scope onto your compatible Saxon or Skywatcher EQ5, NEQ6 or AZEQ6 mount. For alignment, locate the four-star constellation of Octans using an app or star chart, then match the Octans reticle inside the polar scope to the real sky position. Once aligned, your mount is polar aligned, making setup feel simpler and more consistent.

This improved polar alignment is especially important for long exposure photography or observing difficult to find objects where tracking is crucial. By making alignment easier and more repeatable, the Skywatcher Polar Scope helps you spend less time adjusting and more time observing.
