## Description

Every night you repeat the same operations to set up your mount.<br><br>- Where is north?<br>- Does my mount level?<br>- What are the GPS coordinates?<br>- Where is the polar viewfinder of my EQ6?<br>- When the moon will rise and set ?<br>- what is the moon phase tonight ?<br><br>That is the purpose of this application: group all these tools in a single application.<br><br>Easy to use, simply scroll through the screens to move the compass level bubble and the polar position calculation screen.<br><br>The polar calculation screen takes into account your GPS position.<br>The time on the screen is the hour angle on your mount (watch for rings).<br>The diagram shows the position of the pole in the viewfinder.<br><br>Your station setup will be more accurate if you use the hour angle. This will allow you to get a more accurate tracking. Very useful for astrophotographers!<br><br>Astronomy Tools quickly becomes critical business!<br><br>If the results of the compass are strange, it may be the calibration.<br>In this case, try to make &quot;8&quot; movements on the compass screen to calibrate your device.<br><br>Feel free to send me an email for remarks and if you have some more ideas :-) !<br><br>Moon phases - Moon rise - Moon set - Polaris - Astronomy - Compass
