Everybody who observed the romatic sky at night, sure has had the wish to take a photo of it. But if you try you will see - it´s not as easy! For the photography of astronomic objects you often has to expose some minutes. Because of the rotation of the earth axle the stars are moving and you will get images with long lines.

With todays digital technique you can have a high sensitivity of the chip and so you will get a short exposure time, but at the same time you will have high noise and the images looks terrible. Beautiful images of the nightsky are impossible this way. Because of this Vixen developed the Polarie Star Tracker, so you won´t have the problem with the moving stars.

If you mount your camera on the Polarie this will be moved contrary the earth rotation and so you will get sharp images with pinpoint stars also at long exposure times.
