5.  The bullseye indicates where the 

telescope is pointing.

6.  Using the telescope’s slow-motion 

controls, follow the arrows to move the 
telescope towards the object.

7.  As you get closer to the object, stop 

and wait several seconds so that the 
telescope can sense the stars in your new 
location.

8.  If the telescope has detected stars, but 

is still not over your intended target, the 
bullseye will turn yellow. Continue to 
follow the arrows closer to the target.

4.  Once you select an object, its name will 

appear on the bottom of the planetarium 
view.

9.  If you stop and wait for a few seconds 

and the bullseye turns green, you have 
successfully located your object! It’s 
now ready to view in your low powered 
eyepiece.

1.  First, tap the StarSense icon. The app 

will ask you if your telescope is aligned. 
If you removed your phone from the 
Dock since the last time you aligned, it’s 
probably a good idea to complete the 
process again. Press Needs Alignment to 
begin. It will only take a minute.

2.  Tap any celestial object in the 

planetarium view to select it. 

3.  Not sure what you want to observe? Tap 

the Star icon to view a list of Tonight’s 
Best objects. Tap any object in the list.
