Rene Alignment
Once the telescope is aligned using Solar System Align, you
have the option of adding additional alignment objects (either
other planets or stars from the Named Star Catalog) in order to
improve pointing accuracy. To add an alignment object:
1. Select the desired object from the Named Star or Solar
System database and slew to it.
2. Press the ALIGN button on the hand control.
3. The display will then ask you if you want to add an
alignment object or replace the existing one.
4. Select ADD to add the additional alignment object. If
an additional object has already been added, then you
have the option of replacing one of the existing objects
with the new object.
5. Carefully center the object in the eyepiece using the
UP and RIGHT buttons for final centering.
6. Press ALIGN to add the alignment object.
Tips for Using Solar System Align
For safety purposes, the Sun will not be displayed in any of the
hand control’s object lists unless it is enabled from the Database
Setup Menu. To allow the Sun to be displayed on the hand control,
do the following:
1. Press the UNDO button until the display reads “SkyProdigy
3FBEZw
2. Press the MENU button and use the UP and DOWN keys
to select the Utilities menu. Press ENTER.
3. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select Menu Level and
press ENTER.
4. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select Advanced and press
ENTER. This will give you access to the Database Setup
menu that you will need to allow the Sun to be displayed.
5. Press BACK until the Menu option is displayed.
6. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select Database Setup and
press ENTER.
7. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select Allow Sun and press
ENTER.
8. Use the UP and DOWN keys to toggle the solar option to
Yes and press ENTER.
The Sun can be removed from the display by using the same
procedure as above.
Object Catalog
Selecting an Object
Now that the telescope is properly aligned, you can choose an
object from any of the catalogs in the SkyProdigy’s database.
The hand control has a key designated for each category of
PCKFDUTJOJUTEBUBCBTF4PMBS4ZTUFNPCKFDUT4UBSTBOE%FFQ
Sky objects.
t Solar System - The Solar System catalog will display all
the planets (and Moon) in our Solar System that are currently
visible in the sky. To allow the Sun to be displayed as an
option in the database, see Allow Sun option in the Database
Setup section of the manual.

best Galaxies, Nebulae and Clusters, as well as the complete
Messier and select NGC objects. There is also an alphabetical
list of all deep sky objects in order by their common name.
The Messier and NGC catalogs require the user to enter a
numeric designation. Selecting these catalogs will display a
blinking cursor next to the name of the catalog chosen. Use
the numeric key pad to enter the number of any object within
these standardized catalogs. For example, to nd the Orion
Nebula, press the “MwLFZBOEFOUFSiw
When scrolling through a long list of objects, holding down
either the UP or DOWN key will allow you to scroll through the
catalog at a rapid speed. Holding down the option button while
pressing the UP/DOWN buttons will allow you to scroll through
the database three objects at a time.
Slewing to an Object
Once the desired object is displayed on the hand control screen,
you have two options:
t Press the OBJECT INFO Key. This will give you useful
information about the selected object such as magnitude,
constellation and extended information about the most
popular objects.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through the
displayed object info.
- Use the BACK button or OBJECT INFO to return to the
object database.
t Press the ENTER Key. This will automatically slew the
telescope to the coordinates of the object displayed on the
hand control. While the telescope is slewing to the object,
the user can still access many of the hand control functions
(such as displaying information about the object).
Caution: Never slew the telescope when someone is look-
ing into the eyepiece. The telescope can move at fast slew
speeds and may hit an observer in the eye.
SkyTour Button
The SkyProdigy includes a tour feature which automatically allows
the user to choose from a list of interesting objects based on the
date and time in which you are observing. The automatic tour
will display only those objects that are within your set catalog
lters limits. To activate the Tour feature, press the SKY TOUR key
on the hand control.
t Press the SKY TOUR button on the hand control.
t Use the SCROLL buttons to select Best of Tonight.
t SkyProdigy will automatically slew in azimuth to its starting
position which will help minimize the chance of wrapping
the power cord during the tour.
t SkyProdigy will display the best objects to observe that are
currently in the sky.
- To see information and data about the displayed object,
press the OBJECT INFO key. Press it once to display the
coordinates of the object. Press it again to display the
