Polar Alignment with iPad/iPhone

Hi All,

After some adjustments to my mount over the weekend I needed to get things aligned again. I have Starwalk on my iPhone, so I asked it to find Polaris Australis so I could get things roughly aligned. The PMX has a nice flat bit on the mount which make a near square alignment possible. The iPad is a bit big, but jammed up against the rear of the mount seems to work OK.

Please excuse my daughter's shaky photography, this example is with the iPad, couldn't take a photo of the iPhone with the iPhone...

Might work well for a portable setup to get you reasonably close to the pole to start off.

Cheers
Stuart
