🌟 How to Polar-Align your Telescope in EKOS without seeing Polaris

In this video, I'll demonstrate how to Polar-Align your telescopes mount without the help of Polaris. I'm using the Polar-Align assistant in K-Stars/EKOS. You can use this technique for astrophotography in the Southern Hemisphere or when your view of Polaris is obstructed in the Northern hemisphere. For a more detailed explanation on the Polar-Alignment Assistant see this video: https://youtu.be/KawYjSyesq4 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:15 Setting Up for Success 02:29 Setting Up the Session in EKOS 03:02 The Trick 04:13 Starting the Assistant 05:44 Adjusting the Altitude 07:46 Adjusting the Azimuth 08:47 Double Checking the Results 09:31 End Result 09:57 Wrapping Up Hi Everyone, Thank you for watching this video. My name is Remco Hekker. In early 2019 I got interested in Astrophotography. I purchased some equipment and messed around a little bit. But due to circumstances, I didn't start any real project until January 2020. So I really am a beginning Astrophotographer. In the last year, I've learned a lot of valuable lessons, and I've been getting questions on how I manage my astrophotography sessions. That's why I started this channel, 52º Night Sky.
