Description

Simplify the polar alignment of your Astrophysics mount equipped with the RAPAS polar scope. It can't get any easier than just matching the view displayed for you against the view that you are look at through your polar scope.

The polar reference stars are plotted based on your current location and time. If location services are available everything is automatic but there is a facility for manually setting your location if it isn't available.

For southern hemisphere users this app will generate the Octans asterism which will assist you to identify the southern polar reference star - Sigma Octans. Sigma Octans is about magnitude 5.3 which makes it hard to identify on it's own but when you can see it in relation to the other nearby stars the task becomes easier.
