MOUNT COMPATIBLE
Achieve pinpoint precision without the frustration. The Zenit Align Mini combines a high-sensitivity camera with advanced astrometry algorithms to deliver arcminute polar alignment accuracy in minutes. Designed for universal compatibility across equatorial mounts and robust enough to handle the demands of a 10kg payload, it ensures your tracking is spot-on for flawless long-exposure imaging.
HOW IT WORKS
POLAR ALIGNMENT IN THREE STEPS
No polar scope squinting, no guesswork, no repeated frustration. Zenit Align Mini handles the precision work.
01
MOUNT AND CONNECT
Attach Zenit Align Mini to your tripod and secure your EQ mount on top.
02
ONE-PUSH ALIGNMENT
Press the button and step back. The onboard camera automatically captures the sky and platesolves to calculate your exact orientation in seconds.
03
START IMAGING
Alignment complete. With perfect polar alignment established, simply start your sequence and let your camera capture the night sky.
ABOUT
A Collaboration
OpenAstroTech
With a deep background in the DIY community, OpenAstroTech has spent years refining the complex kinematics of automated GoTo mounts and leading the charge in auto polar alignment technology.
OG Star Tech
Forged in the exact same open-source community, OG Star Tech mastered the rigorous mechanics required for highly precise manual trackers. Coming together to build Zenit just made sense: blending smart automation with rock-solid mechanics.

Meet the technology behind it
Zenit Align Mini utilizes an integrated polar camera to achieve highly accurate polar alignment within 1 arc-minute of the celestial pole.
Coupled with a Raspberry Pi Zero, it can achieve fully autonomous operation without needing to connect to an external computer.
