SLEWING TO AN OBJECT

Once the desired object is displayed on the hand
control screen, you have two options:
• Press the OBJECT INFO Key . This will display
information about the selected object such as
magnitude, constellation, and extended informa-
tion about the most popular objects .
• Use the UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the
displayed object info .
• Press BACK or OBJECT INFO to return to the
object database .
• Press ENTER . The telescope will slew to the
object displayed on the hand control . While the
telescope is slewing, you can still access many
of the hand control functions, such as displaying
information about the object .
Caution: Never slew the telescope when someone
is looking into the eyepiece . The telescope can move
quickly and may hit an observer in the eye .

SKY TOUR BUTTON

The StarSense includes a tour feature, which takes
you through the most interesting celestial objects
based on your time and location . The list of objects
is prioritized based on where your telescope is
pointed, so the telescope always slews to an object
nearby rather than scattered throughout the sky . The
tour will display only those objects that are within
your set catalog filter limits . To activate the tour fea-
ture, press the SKY TOUR key on the hand control .
1. Press the SKY TOUR button on the hand control .
2. Follow the prompts on the hand control . Using
the direction buttons, slew the telescope to its
index marks or home position .
3. Press ENTER and the Sky Tour will begin . A
message will appear SkyTour Searching .
StarSense will slew to the first object . After the
object is located, you may press ENTER to
proceed to the next object .

IDENTIFY BUTTON

Pressing the I D E NTI FY button will search
StarSense's database and display the name and
angular distances to the nearest matching objects
from the telescope's current location . This feature
can serve two purposes . First, it can be used to
identify an unknown object in the field of view
of your eyepiece . Stars will be searched first,
followed by deep sky objects .
Additionally, IDENTIFY can be used to find other
celestial objects that are close to the objects you
are currently observing .
For example, if your telescope is pointed at the
brightest star in the constellation Lyra, choosing
IDENTIFY will no doubt return the star Vega as
the star you are observing . However, the Identify
feature will also search its NGC and Solar System
databases and display any planets or Deep Sky
objects that are close by . In this example, StarSense
would identify the Ring Nebula (M57), which is
approximately 6º away .
You can specify the brightness and proximity of the
objects displayed by the IDENTIFY feature using
the Identify Filter under Telescope Setup .
DIRECTION BUTTONS
The StarSense has four direction buttons in the
center of the hand control which slew the telescope
in altitude (up and down) and azimuth (left and right) .
