1. Start out by facing the front of the telescope towards an

unobstructed part of the sky, free of any bright lights.

2. Make sure the cap is removed from the camera lens.

3. Press the ALIGN button on the hand control to begin the

alignment process.

Although SkyProdigy will essentially align itself after pressing

the ALIGN button, the following is an overview of the StarSense

alignment process:

• SkyProdigy will automatically start moving to its “home

position”. With the telescope pointed at a clear part of the

sky, it will slew (move) upwards, away from the horizon

about 25 degrees.

• SkyProdigy will take an image of the sky and display the

“Acquiring Image” message on the hand control display.

Once SkyProdigy has begun its alignment process, it

is important not to touch or move the telescope in any

way. Also, while imaging the sky, do not obstruct, cover

or shine light into the camera lens located on the fork

arm of the mount. Immediately after imaging, SkyProdigy will

automatically slew to another portion of the sky.

• After the rst image is taken, the hand control will display

“Sensing”. During this time the captured image is internally

processed and will display the number of stars that were

imaged.

• Once processed, the hand control will display the “Solving”

message as it attempts to positively identify the stars in the

image.

1. The hand control will display the “Solved” message

once it has identied a positive match.

2. The hand control will display “No Solve” if it is unable

to identify a match. See “Tips for using SkyProdigy” for

ways to improve positive alignment matches.

• Once the image has been solved, SkyProdigy will repeat

this process and display the “Alignment Complete” message

after three images are successfully acquired.

SkyProdigy is now ready to start nding and tracking any of the

objects in its 4,000+ object database.

Tips for Aligning SkyProdigy

Remember the following alignment guidelines to make using

SkyProdigy as simple and accurate as possible.

• Be sure to level the tripod before you begin alignment. A

level tripod will help the telescope better match the images

it takes with the actual sky and give you a more accurate

determination of your location.

• Make sure the tripod legs are suciently tight. If there is any

noticeable movement in the tripod while aligning the telescope,

it may affect results. You may need to tighten both the

leg extension locking bolts and the hinge bolts at the top of

the tripod.

• Make sure that the bottom of the mounting bar on the

telescope tube is mounted ush against the bottom of the

mounting clamp. If the telescope tube is attached at an

angle, it will not be accurately aligned with the camera.

• If your SkyProdigy 130 telescope is out of collimation, the optics

may no longer be aligned with the optical axis of the camera

resulting in unsuccessful alignments or poor pointing accuracy.

• Once your SkyProdigy 130 has been collimated, it is

recommended that you calibrate the camera to match the

optics. For information on calibrating the camera, see the

Calibrate option under the StarSense Camera section of the

manual.

• If you notice that the pointing accuracy of the telescope is

noticeably worse on solar system objects (planets and the

Moon) than it is on stars, you may need to reset the time/

location information to improve accuracy. Use the Time and

Location menu in the hand control to update time/location

information.

For best alignment results, make sure that your telescope

is pointed towards an open area of the sky that has a clear

horizon to the right (clockwise) of its starting position.

Once the rst alignment image is taken, SkyProdigy

will move clockwise at least 90° to take a second image

somewhere between the 4 and 6 o’clock position. If the

horizon is blocked between the 3 and 6 o’clock position,

SkyProdigy will continue to move clockwise until it nds

an unobstructed view of the sky. The third image will be

taken between the 7 and 9 o’clock position. The 10 to 12

o’clock position will only be used if the sky is obstructed in

its previous position.
