Select the Sky Tour option; this feature offers a customised list of the best objects in the sky to view for your exact time and location anywhere in the world.No Knowledge of the Night Sky is RequiredOne touch innovation turns anyone into an instant astronomer.Celestron’s SkyProdigy telescopes use an integrated imaging camera* and patented StarSense Technology to automatically align with the night sky and determine where the telescope is currently pointing. The camera automatically captures an image of the sky, which is processed internally to positively identify the stars in the image. Once a positive match is found, SkyProdigy determines the coordinates of the center of the captured image. The process is automatically repeated two more times so that the system has three known alignment points that can be used to make an accurate model of the night sky. From this information the user can select any celestial object in the hand controller’s database, and SkyProdigy will automatically move itself to the correct position.Computerised hand control has a database of more than 4,000 celestial objects.

The captured images are used internally solely for the purpose of self-aligning the SkyProdigy telescope.Twinkle Twinkle Little StarThere are estimated to be at least 70 sextillion (7 x 1022) stars in the observable universe and with the nearest one after the sun being 39.9 trillion kilometers away it is difficult to discover and appreciate their true celestial beauty without the help of a high quality telescope.This SkyProdigy telescope from Celestron couldn’t be more perfect for the job with its StarSense computer control technology consisting of a database capable of locating over 4,000 celestial objects.
