The MAF

When you look at the sky, everything appears to move, but one point near Polaris stays nearly fixed. If you align your instrument to that point, you’re not just aiming at a star—you’re matching the direction of the Earth’s rotation axis. This tool shows that idea in two ways: the Sky view lets you align it by eye, and the Iso view shows the physical setup on the Earth itself. Once that axis is set, the motion of the Sun, Moon, and stars becomes consistent and measurable from where you stand.
