The Polarie time lapse adapter is an optional accessory for time lapse images with the Vixen Mount Polarie Star Tracker.

The set-up is very simple:
Step 1: remove the "built-in compass" from the Star-Tracker housing.
Step 2: screw the time lapse adapter into the Polarie housing.
Step 3: align the Polarie horizontally on your camera tripod.
Step 4: srew the ball head on the rotary plate and attach your camera.
That’s it! You can now use your Polarie to create time lapse images.

Time lapse photography is a technique whereby time lapse film is created in which a series of several hundred images are made over a period of time. These recordings are later added together with software to create a movie which, in just a few minutes, plays a recording of an event that took took place over hours.
