Le PoleMaster peut être monté devant l'axe RA de la monture équatoriale. Il contient une caméra très sensible qui capture dynamiquement des images d'étoiles près du pôle nord céleste en temps réel. Sa sensibilité est supérieure à celle de l'œil nu, donc non seulement vous pouvez voir l'étoile polaire, mais vous pouvez également voir quelques étoiles sombres près de Polaris. Sur la base de l'emplacement de ces étoiles, le logiciel calcule la vraie position du pôle nord. Dans le même temps, le PoleMaster détecte la position du centre de rotation de l'axe d'ascension droite puis marque la position des deux points sur l'écran.
