The Event menu provides access to dates and times of astronomical events. The

Sunrise and Sunset calculates the time that the Sun rises or sets on the cur-
rent date. Find rise and set times for other dates by entering a new date into the
“Setup: Date” menu.
Moonrise and Moonset calculates the time that the Moon rises or sets on the
current date. Find rise and set times for other dates by entering a new date into
the “Setup: Date” menu.
Moon Phases displays the date and time of the next Full, New, 1st Quarter, and
3rd Quarter Moon.
Meteor Showers provides information
on upcoming meteor showers, such as
the Perseids, the Leonids, etc. Also lists the dates of the showers and when they
reach maximum.
Note: Meteors are fast moving objects that cover large areas of the sky
and are usually best observed with the naked eye.
Solar Eclipse lists upcoming Solar Eclipses, including the date and type (total,
annular, or partial) of eclipse, and the location and time of the first and last
contacts of the Moon‘s shadow. Use the Scroll Up and Down keys to display
the available data. Remember, never use a telescope to look at the Sun! See
WARNING! to the left.
Lunar Eclipse lists upcoming Lunar Eclipses, including the date and type (total,
partial, penumbral) of eclipse. Use the Scroll Up and Down keys to display the
available data.
Min. (Minimum) of Algol is the minimum brightness of the dramatic eclipsing
binary star system, Algol. It is relatively close at a distance of 100 light years.
Every 2.8 days during a 10-hour period, Algol undergoes a major change in
apparent magnitude as one of the two stars passes behind the other. The com-
bined magnitude of the two stars thus dips from +2.1 to a minimum of +3.4
halfway through the eclipse as the second star is hidden. The handbox calculates
minimum magnitude time at mid-eclipse.
Autumn and Vernal Equinox calculates the time and date of the fall or spring
equinox of the current year.
Winter and Summer Solstice calculates the time and date of the winter or sum-
mer solstice of the current year.
Glossary Menu
The Glossary menu provides an alphabetical listing of definitions and descrip-
tions for common astronomical terms and handbox functions. Access directly
through the Glossary menu or through hypertext words embedded in the hand-
box. A hypertext word is any word in [brackets], usually found when using the
handbox help function or when reading a scrolling message such as a descrip-
tion of a planet or star. Press ENTER whenever a hypertext word is on screen
and the handbox goes to the glossary entry for that word.
To access directly from the Glossary menu, use the Scroll keys to scroll through
the alphabet. Press ENTER on the desired letter. Scroll to the desired entry and
then press ENTER to read the description.
Utilities Menu
The Utilities menu provides access to several extra features within the handbox,
including a countdown timer and an alarm. The Utilities functions include:
Timer selects a countdown timer. This feature is useful for functions such as
astrophotography and tracking satellites. To use the Timer, press ENTER, then
choose “Set” or “Start/Stop.“
•

press ENTER.
• Start/Stop: Activates the timer set previously. Use the Scroll keys to toggle

WARNING!
Never use
a tele-
scope to
look at the Sun!
Looking at or near
the Sun will cause
instant and irrevers-
ible damage to your
eye. Eye damage is
often painless, so
there is no warn-
ing to the observer
that damage has
occurred until it
is too late. Do not
point the telescope
or its viewfinder at
or near the Sun. Do
not look through
the telescope or its
viewfinder as it is
moving.
Children
should always have
adult supervision
while observing.
