TS Polar Finder for equatorial mounts
A polar scope makes it easier to align the mount with a celestial pole. Within a few minutes, you can achieve a set-up accuracy that even makes astrophotography possible. All you need is a clear view of Polaris. The polar finder is simply screwed into the rear end of the mount.
No number acrobatics or additional apps necessary
The operation is simple and intuitive. A great help for an exact alignment: the pole finder has a marking of the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia. Simply rotate the telescope right ascension axis until the marking points in the same direction as the current state of the two constellations. This works simply and spontaneously! Now you can find the true celestial pole with just a few simple steps. No longer worry about complicated data scales and numbers. One thing is for sure: every beginner can cope with it.
You also have the right stars for the southern hemisphere.
The polar scope fits, among others, the following mounts:
- Celestron Advanced VX Goto mount
- Celestron CAM ADM (Advanced) and CGEM / CGEM DX
- Vixen GP mounts
- Skywatcher EQ5, H-EQ5 & EQ6 (not the EQ3 and EQ3-2)

Preparation of the polar finder adjustment disk from Teleskop-Service:
The polar finder adjustment disk is like a manual APP and helps to find the position of the polar star and transfer it to the polar finder.
- Check on our website to get the polar finder adjustment disk as PDF
- Cut out both disks. You can glue the discs to cardboard, this will increase stability.
- Pierce both discs in the center, which is marked with a + symbol. One small hole is enough.
- Place the small disc over the large one and connect the discs so that you can twist the discs against each other, like a rotating star chart. A small bolt with a nut and two washers works quite well.
- Done, the polar finder adjustment disk is ready for use and you always have the correct position of the polar star, independent of apps, smartphone etc.
