EQAlign

EQAlign is a full featured astronomical application designed to assist you in aligning a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) exactly to the Earth polar axis.

EQAlign can be used to measure and analyse your mount Periodic Error (PE), can autoguide your mount, so you can minimize the Periodic Error and polar misalignment effects and it made possible to shoot long exposure astrophotography.

The program implements a complete PC GoTo platform. EQAlign solves orbital elements of planets, comets and asteroids to compute actual position coordinates, magnitude, distance, etc.

You can plan a journal, selecting any object of the database, make your own object comment annotations and it supports many cams as long exposure modified webcams, and others CCD and CMOS cams.
