Start up in a blink:
Automatic polar alignment

Polar alignment in 2 minutes

Point your telescope up at the sky. No need to have a view on the poles. StarAid Revolution will determine the exact coordinates to set the axes of your mount to. Adjust the mount knobs as indicated in the StarAid app. That’s it. No polar scope, no awkward crouching.

Autoguiding with ease, without interruption

Just plug in the cable and relax

Start guiding within 30 seconds

Plug in the cable, then lean back and enjoy a warm drink. StarAid Revolution starts up and operates autonomously. It resumes when clouds pass by, and tracks and keeps stars centred at high accuracy.

Fix guiding errors immediately and with ease

If guiding is interrupted, the LED lights will immediately indicate that. Open the StarAid app on your phone or tablet, check the reason of the error. Read the solution and fix it right away. No complicated software needed.

Guide and photograph comets

Select a comet from the object guiding catalogue, point your telescope, and start photographing. StarAid keeps the comet centred, allowing you to take long uninterrupted sub-exposures.

Control your camera, dithering between shots

StarAid Revolution (Revision B) provides a standard 2.5mm camera shutter port that is supported by most DSLR and mirrorless camera models. Once StarAid has control over your camera’s remote shutter release, you can configure the exposure time of your camera and the number of shots you want to take. Dithering between shots is fully supported, reducing noise and artifacts in your images.

Stop wasting your time on tweaking and tuning.

Lean back and enjoy your view.
