window or your eye. The StarPointer comes equipped with a vari-

able brightness control, two axes alignment control and mount-

ing brackets. Before the StarPointer is ready to be used, it must

be attached to the telescope tube and properly aligned.

StarPointer Installation (SkyProdigy 6)

Locate the dovetail mounting bracket, which should be already

attached to the rear cell of the optical tube.

Slide the mounting track at the bottom of the Star Pointer

over the dovetail portion of the bracket. It may be necessary

to loosen the two screws on the side of the mounting track

before sliding it over the dovetail. The end of the Star Pointer

with the glass window should be facing out towards the front

of the telescope.

Tighten the two screws on the side of the mounting track to

secure the Star Pointer to the dovetail bracket.

StarPointer Installation (SkyProdigy 102)

1. Slide the StarPointer bracket into the dovetail mounting

platform on top of the focuser assembly (see gure 2-12).

2. Orient the StarPointer so that the sight tube is facing towards

the front of the tube.

3. Secure the StarPointer bracket by tightening the thumb

screw on the mounting platform.

StarPointer Operation

The StarPointer is powered by a long life 3v lithium battery

(#CR2032) located underneath the front portion of the StarPointer.

Like all nderscopes, the StarPointer must be properly aligned

with the main telescope before it can be used. This is a simple

process using the azimuth and altitude control knobs located on

the side and bottom of the StarPointer.

1. Before using the StarPointer, you must rst remove the

protective plastic cover over the battery (see gure 2-13).

2. To turn on the StarPointer, rotate the variable brightness

DPOUSPMTFFöHVSFDMPDLXJTFVOUJMZPVIFBSBiDMJDLw5P

increase the brightness level of the red dot, continue rotating

the control knob about 180º until it stops.

3. Locate a distant object and center it in a low power eyepiece

in the main telescope. If aligning during the daytime,

choose an object at least a quarter of a mile away. If

aligning at nighttime, select the Moon or a bright star that

is easy to see. Use the four directional arrow buttons on

4. the hand control to move the telescope side-to-side and up

and down.

5. With both eyes open, look through the glass window at the

alignment star. If the StarPointer is perfectly aligned, you

will see the red LED dot overlap the alignment star. If the

StarPointer is not aligned, take notice of where the red dot

is relative to the bright star.

6. Without moving the main telescope, turn the StarPointer’s

azimuth and altitude alignment controls (see gure 2-10)

until the red dot is directly over the alignment object.

If the LED dot is brighter than the alignment star, it may

make it difficult to see the star. Turn the brightness control

counterclockwise, until the red dot is the same brightness as

the alignment star. This will make it easier to get an accurate

alignment. The StarPointer is now ready to use.
