Getting Started - Using Your Smart Device; Aligning The Nexstar Evolution With Skyportal App - Celestron NexStar Evo 6 Manual De Instrucciones

GETTING STARTED –
USING YOUR SMART DEVICE
Now that your telescope is assembled and the StarPointer
is aligned, let's connect it to your smartphone or tablet
We recommend you familiarize yourself with the telescope
and app during the day before using it at night
Caution: Remember to never point the telescope at the Sun
during the day without using a proper full aperture solar filter!
1 Turn the power switch to the ON position (ON=1 OFF=0)
The Celestron logo LED will light up indicating the
telescope is on The WiFi LED will also blink indicating
WiFi ready status
2 Go to your device's WiFi settings, and connect to the
"SkyQLink-xx" network that your telescope is broadcasting
Wait for your device to confirm that you have successfully
connected
3 Launch Celestron SkyPortal on your device and select
"Connect " Arrows will appear on your screen for UP/
DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT These motions are referred to
as altitude and azimuth, respectively
4 Use the arrows to move your telescope A slider will adjust
the motor speed Start by pointing at distant terrestrial
objects Locate something with your StarPointer first,
then look at the object using the 40mm eyepiece Switch
to the 13mm eyepiece, and notice how it increases the
magnification and decreases the field of view When you
change eyepieces, you may have to readjust the focus
slightly to get the sharpest image Now that you are
familiar with your telescope, you are ready to begin
observing the night sky!
ALIGNING THE NEXSTAR
EVOLUTION WITH SKYPORTAL APP
Your telescope must be aligned before it can accurately point to celestial objects in the sky Once aligned, your telescope will
automatically locate any celestial object you select on your screen! The telescope also automatically tracks objects in the sky
as the Earth rotates This keeps objects centered in the eyepiece, and makes it easy to share views with family and friends
SkyPortal's default alignment uses Celestron's SkyAlign™ technology which only requires centering any three bright stars in
the sky, without having to know their names And since your smart device already accounts for date, time and location, there
is no need for GPS or to input information about your observing site All you have to do is center and align 3 bright stars
seen in the sky
SkyPortal's advanced mount-modeling provides improved pointing accuracy compared to standard computerized hand
control systems for telescopes This level of pointing accuracy was previously only available when used with a dedicated PC
running specialized software
