AstroFarsography | QHY Polemaster Polar scope Review - Nail Your Polar Alignment @AstroFarsography | Uploaded March 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The QHY Polemaster Polarscope is what is known as an 'electronic polar scope'. Instead of using your eye, it uses a camera and software to ensure you absoutely nail your polar alignment. The polemaster is a one trick pony, so does it live up to expectation?

I review my QHY Polemaster in this video, sharing my thoughts on an electronic polar scope and alternatives to the Polemaster. Polar alignment is absolutely critical in astrophotography and taking long exposures on equatorial mounts. Whether its a HEQ5 or a humble star tracker. Whether you align to Polaris, or Octantis - polar alignment is an evil we all have to do. So why make it harder?

$What A Terrible Result... | Astrophotography My Hypercam recently decided to develop an issue and is unusable. So instead I modified a Canon 600D I had in order to try and make use of a clear night. Needless to say, it didnt go my way. Not hardware issues this time (in the way I usually have at least), but just this didnt work. Originally I hadnt levelled the sensor correctly in the camera, so it wasnt flat and focused across the field, but it seems the 600D sensor is just very noisy! Maybe Ill go back to a 450D to compliment my main imaging telescope. What a night...

$Lets Photograph The Elephants Trunk Nebula The Elephants Trunk Nebula (IC1396), located in Cepheus. This is a large emission nebula that has a very distinctive shape to it. It can be a bit tricky to see the Elephants Trunk when looking at the image, but if you turn your head to the right, you can see the trunk Whilst the Moon is up, the Hydrogen-Alpha filter comes in play! I had issues trying to calibrate the data though. There was some starbursting on the right hand side of the image that I struggled with (you may remember me mentioning this). Ive had some suggestions on fixing it. Once Ive got conclusive results, Ill let you know what was done! Im focussing more on the film making aspects of my videos now and enjoying it greatly! I think this might be one of my better videos to date. Enjoy!
