Polar finder for Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 (Sky-Watcher). This polar finder for the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 mount helps align the right ascension axis with the Earth’s rotation axis by pointing it at the celestial pole. In the northern hemisphere, Polaris serves as a reference but is not exactly at the pole: it must be positioned as indicated by the reticle and the polar finder alignment procedure. Correct polar alignment reduces image drift during tracking. The finder mounts off-axis on the mount body; an illuminator is included.
