SOME FREQUENT QUESTIONS

These are some of the most common questions I’ve received about this course:

Once you join the course, you’ll be able to access all the instructional videos and downloadable elements on our online platform. This platform was specifically designed for my courses, and it’s reliable and very easy to navigate. You just need a device with a screen and an internet connection.

This online course requires a single payment. After that, you’ll have lifetime access and be able to watch all the videos and tutorials at your own pace.

This course includes unlimited support. It doesn’t matter what you need or when you ask for help, I’ll be there.

This masterclass will help you from the moment you take the Benro Polaris out of the box until you want to push it to the limit. The materials cover everything, from the gear and setup to all the steps, tips, and problems you may encounter. 

The course includes lessons, tips, and troubleshooting for advanced users, especially when it comes to advanced multi-row panoramas, complex foregrounds, and many “hidden” BP secrets that I’m sure you haven’t heard about until now.

Also, remember that the more you expand tour BP knowledge, the more you will prevent failures in the field and increase the chances of success.

The first half of the course applies to any feature that you want to use with the Benro Polaris. The rest of the course is focused on the Astro functions of the device.

Most of the tips, best practices, and workarounds to fix problems apply to the Benro Polaris in general regardless of the function you use, so I’m sure you’ll find value whatever your purpose is with the BP.


The course is focused on the astropgotography capabilities of the Benro Polaris to capture wide-field astro images, from single shots and stacking to multirow tracked panoramas and foregrounds.

However, you can apply a considerable part of the content of the course to any type of astrophotography, including deep-sky.

Do you have any other questions?

Outstanding course for learning how to use the Polaris for astroimaging

This course goes into to detail of how to use the Polaris for night sky photography. The main emphasis is in astro panoramas but he does cover single stacked shots. He also covers the interface and some hidden resources within the app that are very useful. Even though I had been using my Polaris I did learn some new features and got some great tips. I highly recommend this course.

Amazing resource for Polaris Newbies

This is an amazing resource to learn how to work with the BP. I have experience with other star trackers and equatorial goto mounts…so I did think twice about whether I needed to do this course. I’m glad I did, it’s totally worth the $$$. I feel confident it will allow me to exploit all the tracker can do as well as pre-empt/rectify problems from day 1. Thanks so much Dan, fantastic course!

I rate this a 10 out of 5

What was once an expensive paperweight, it has now became an amazing astrophotography tool. Dan explains in detail all the settings and most of all what problems will arise by using the Polaris and how to fix them. 10 star out of 5

Superb in-depth training of this challenging piece of equipment.

Great overall course. The information was really well explained and backed up with examples and actual use of the Polaris. The level ranged from basic introduction to very in-depth considerations and setup but all explained very clearly. Thanks Dan, you've given me hope to continue and the skills to get the best from this unit.

excellent

Excellent course with Dan giving thorough explanations, and all the tips and tricks, to successfully use this slightly quirky and initially a bit intimidating tracker, that has become a fast fave for many. I also appreciated Dan's cheerful and encouraging teaching style and always answering people's questions.

Worth every cent.

Have really enjoyed this course. I heard bad things about the Polaris from fellow astro photographers. I knew being a technology driven device it would come with quirks. I found Dan's video on You Tube and it only made sense to me spend some money on private tuition (this course). This course is why ony after the second time using the Polaris I got my first 50 shot multi row Milky Way panorama.
