About
A right-angle polar alignment scope for Astro-Physics mounts: the bent light path spares the observer's neck, adjustments are made without rotating the scope or the RA axis, and a battery illuminator with adjustable brightness lets alignment happen in light pollution or twilight when only Polaris is visible. Its reticle serves both hemispheres through 2040, and it moves between any AP mounts carrying the right back plate or adapter.
