Polemaster, or SharpCap, drift aligning ¡ª all of them just align the polar axis with the Earth¡¯s axis. ?Specifically, they help adjust the mount so that the center of motion around the polar axis is pointed at the north celestial pole. ?It doesn¡¯t matter exactly where the?Polemaster or SharpCap camera is pointed, the camera just needs to be strapped on somewhere where it turns with the polar axis and has a view of the area around the NCP.?

My jury is still out about a Polemaster. It looks fine. But I'd want it mounted to my imaging rig and not the mount itself.
That way, once it is true to my imaging rig, it could really get everything Polar Aligned.
But for now, I think I'll continue the way I've been doing by PA through my imaging telescope. Unless Losmandy convinces me otherwise.
But if you get it from Losmandy, you can bet it will fit.
