Polar scope for HEQ5

[astrosathya]

I have a 2012 model HEQ5-PRO and it has the older reticule in the polar scope. Could anyone direct me if I can urchase a new polar scope reticule or a new polar scope with the latest reticule?

if you've got a camera compatible with sharpcap and you use a laptop i wouldnt bother. iv'e not tortured myself with the polar scope since i started using sharpcap polar alignment.

Thanks for the reply Anthony. Unfortunately, I live at 13deg latitude Bortle 7-8 sky (Bangalore City), which means that most of the dimmer stars around Polaris are all but invisible to Sharpcap as I tested it once when the feature was newly revealed. I therefore rely on my Polar Scope as well as DARV to get PA accurate.

Not sure if you've sorted this yet but I recently upgraded mine to the new ridicule and use it in combination with skywatcher app, it works a treat.

Much more accurate the before, I use it in my heq5 and star adventurer mini.

Polemaster. One of the most useful things I have ever bought.
