[quote] A Polar Alignment Scope is a small telescope or tube used for aligning your telescope with the North or South Celestial Pole. This alignment is necessary in order for the telescope to track the stars. Good tracking is a must for long exposure astrophotography, to keep the image from blurring. It is also make slewing and tracking much easier during visual observing. [quote]
