Hand Control Guide  [Continued]

*Celestron’s SkyProdigy telescope uses an integrated imaging camera and patented StarSense Technology to automatically align 
 itself 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.

*SkyProdigy’s internal camera does not have an external output allowing users to view or save the captured images. Captured 
  images are used internally solely for the purpose of self-aligning the SkyProdigy telescope.
