Just set up the accessory, push the Align button on the hand control, and StarSense begins capturing and comparing images of the night sky against its internal database. In about three minutes, it's gathered enough information to triangulate its position and align itself. Then, press the Sky Tour button: StarSense will automatically slew to all the best stars, planets, galaxies, and more currently visible in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-alignment technology behind our award-winning SkyProdigy series is now available for all of Celestron's current computerized telescopes and backwards compatible with many older models as well. (See compatibility list below.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small digital camera takes the place of your finderscope and attaches using one of two provided mounting brackets. The included StarSense hand control, with a database of over 40,000 celestial objects, takes the place of your NexStar hand control. The camera automatically captures a series of images of the sky. StarSense identifies the stars in the images, matching them to its database. Once a positive match is confirmed, StarSense calculates the coordinates of the center of the captured image, thereby determining exactly where the telescope is pointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore StarSense, using a computerized telescope required a lengthy alignment process of finding and centering at least two bright stars in the telescope’s eyepiece. But StarSense automatically aligns itself with minimal user input. Just enter your time, date, and location and let StarSense do the rest!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Mount Modeling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the most advanced telescope users will love using StarSense AutoAlign. This affordable accessory replaces the software usually used for advanced mount modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith built-in mount modeling, you'll get superior pointing accuracy from horizon to horizon. When your alignment needs to be perfect, add up to 10 additional calibration stars to achieve a new level of accuracy, great for locating objects in the camera’s field of view for astroimaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e StarSense camera field of view: 6.88º x 5.16º\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStarSense Compatibility List\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny mount with 5.x or
