2.1. Introduction

You have just purchased a tracking camera mount that is capable of taking your

with the celestial North Pole (CNP), or celestial South Pole (CSP), the mount will provide rotation
matching the celestial sphere rotation around the Earth. Since all celestial objects appear to rotate
around the CNP, or CSP, the polar axis allows the mount to rotate with the celestial sphere and
provide accurate tracking for visual observations and astrophotography.

easy and accurate polar alignment for the mount.
