There is no separate mount to polar align, no camera to attach, no filter drawer to load and no laptop to run. You place it, connect a phone or tablet over NFC, choose a target, and it works through autofocus, calibration, acquisition, tracking and live stacking by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo cameras share the body.
