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

Ready”.

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

objects in its database; Solar System objects, Stars and Deep

Sky objects.

• 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.

• Stars – The Stars catalog displays a custom lists of all the

brightest stars, double (Binary) stars, variable stars, and

selected asterisms.

• Deep Sky –The Deep Sky catalog displays a list of all the

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 “M” key and enter “042”.

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:

• 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.

• 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.

• Press the SKY TOUR button on the hand control.

• Use the SCROLL buttons to select Best of Tonight.

• SkyProdigy will automatically slew in azimuth to its starting

position which will help minimize the chance of wrapping

the power cord during the tour.

• 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
