Polemaster For Mac

QHY-CCD has a Mac client for PoleMaster but there's a bit of a trick to it. Once you install it, click the ‘Polemaster' application icon (just once .. you only want to select it. You don't want to launch it), then right click and select the 'Show Info' (or use CMD+I). In the 'Info' window there's a tick-box to 'Open in Low Resolution' mode.
They wrote the app before Apple had 'Retina Display' macs. Today *all* MacBooks are 'Retina' so Apple doesn't bother to call them 'Retina' macs anymore. QHY never updated the app for the new display resolution. If you don't do this, then the star template on screen wont match the camera resolution and nothing will line up (I'm a surprised there is even a need to do this since it's possible for an application to query the display resolution).
I did mention the software does, just occasionally, crash. But when it doesn't crash, and if you 'Open in Low Resolution' then it works correctly and you get great results.

As for KStars/Ekos.. that's actually pretty impressive full-featured software. Here's a link to the video explaining how the Polar Alignment Assistant works:
Ekos leverages an integration to astrometry.net. While you can upload to their servers in the cloud, it's possible to run astrometry.net locally on your computer — which is the better option when you are observing from a location with no working high-speed internet.
Clear Skies,

Can you say more about the Polemaster Mac app?
Kstars/Ekos has a plate-solving-based polar alignment capability. It can be run on a dedicated computer that's accessed remotely, but it can also be run directly on your Mac. I haven't used it, yet, just have read that it seems to work pretty well.

Frontline commando d day unlimited money apk. Jun 11, 2020  There is a version of Polemaster software for Mac. It is very buggy, though. They say you can get it to work by disabling the 'Retina Display' checkbox before launching it. I tried that, but it still wasn't reliable and crashed on my Macbook Pro. Sims 4 realistic body.

  1. Windows camera security permits app access the camera. IPolar shows up in the Windows Device Manager. I tried a powered USB3 hub. Again no camera connection. Powered hub I connected to the cameras with other camera-using apps such as Skype or a Mac camera app, I get different results. With the Mac app I see images through the iPolar scope.
  2. Download Center. This page lists items that the ASCOM Initiative has made available for download. The ASCOM Platform is required for most of the drivers and other components.
