A software named Best Pair II offers alignment star evaluation for Meade LX200 and AutoStar telescopes. It simplifies the process of aligning the stars in telescopes for efficient stargazing.
Best Pair II is a software that has been ported from Jim Burrows' BestPair in DOS program to make it available to Macintosh and Windows computer users. This application is primarily designed to choose the ideal alignment star pair to carry out 2-star alignments for a Meade LX200 Classic telescope or any Meade telescope that utilizes the AutoStar computer controller in Alt-Azimuth mode.
It works by analyzing the alignment's pointing errors linked to each pair of Meade's selection of 33 stars (in the AutoStar's case, it is 78 stars) by only examining those visible at a specified time and location. The alignment star pair with the smallest error is then chosen, making it easy for users to obtain accurate data on their alignment when working with a Meade telescope.
Overall, Best Pair II has the capacity to find the best possible alignment star pair to conduct a 2-star alignment. This makes it a reliable choice for individuals using the specified telescope models.
