Description

An app for Astronomy and Astrophotography enthusiasts that use a German Equatorial Mount for your telescope. PolarisView is a useful utility to assist you while you align your GEM or equatorial mount for your telescope for your astronomy viewing session or for your night of astrophotography. PolarisView will place Polaris on the screen display of your device exactly as you should see it in your polar finder scope. Once you adjust your GEM mount so that the view in your polar finder scope matches the screen display, you are polar aligned for viewing the night sky! The alignment will even get you close enough for short exposure astrophotography as well! For your astronomy viewing sessions, your motorized mount should keep your object in the view all night long! Note that while this application will run on devices in the Southern Hemisphere or near the Equator, you will not be able to use the application to align your mount since Polaris will be below the horizon.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★Excellent app. Can you please add the Hour Angle of Polaris? This will allow for more precise positioning of the reticle.
3 ★I'm in southern california at 5pm on feb. 8th. Is the dot supposed to be at the very bottom of the reticle?
2 ★I have to say I don't get it, I want to but there is no instructions at all
5 ★Like it a lot for quick grab n go telescope mount. Thanks.
5 ★Works great!
1 ★Useless
5 ★Very good
5 ★Works excellent
5 ★This app works great! I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android Lollipop
1 ★Does not work.
2 ★I tried this on my Nexus 4 - it achieved a GPS lock quickly, but then nothing. Just a non-moving white spot on the target. The app SkEye can find Polaris, so I don't know why this can't. Shame, as it would be very useful to me.
