5 Intr oduction Congratulations on y our purchase of the Celestron StarSeeker! The StarSeek er ushers in a whole new genera- tion of computer automated technology . Simple and friendly to use, the StarSeek er is up and r unning after locating just three bright objects.
6 Assembling the StarSeeker Y our StarSeek er comes in three major sections: the optical tube, f ork ar m and the tripod. These sections can be attached in seconds using the quick release coupling scre w located under the tripod mounting platform. Remov e all of the acces- sories from their individual box es.
7 3. Tighten the thumbscrew to hold the e yepiece in place. T o remov e the eyepiece , loosen the thumbscrew on the star diagonal and slide the ey epiece out. F or StarSeeker 114mm and 130mm models: 1. Loosen the thumb screw on the e yepiece adapter at the end of the f ocuser barrel and remove the protectiv e dust cap from the f ocuser barrel.
8 ment procedure is best done at night since the LED dot will be difficult to see during the day . Before using the StarP ointer , y ou must first remov e the protective plastic co ver ov er the batter y . 1. T o tur n on the Star P ointer , rotate the variable brightness control (see figure 2-5) clockwise until y ou here a “clic k”.
9 Double Stars: Alphabetical listing of the most visually stunning double , tr iple and quadruple stars in the sky . V ariable Star s: Select list of the br ightest variab le stars with the shor test period of changing magnitude. Asterisms: A unique list of some of the most recognizable star patterns in the sky .
10 Important: The first time the StarSeeker is used, it will request inf or mation to help identify the model of telescope. Once powered on, the hand control will displa y the message Select Model. Use the Up and Down menu k eys (10) to scroll through the diff erent StarSeeker models.
11 6. For the second alignment object, choose a bright star or planet as f ar as possible from the first alignment object. Once again use the arrow b utton to center the object in the finderscope and press ENTER. Then once centered in the ey epiece press the ALIGN button.
12 4. StarSeeker then asks you to center in the e yepiece the alignment star you selected. Use the direction arrow but- tons to slew the telescope to the alignment star and care- fully center the star in the finderscope. Press ENTER when centered. 5. Then, center the star in the eyepiece and press ALIGN.
13 of the sky . • If you ha ve aligned y our telescope using the One-star align method, you can use re-align to align to an additional object in the sky . This will improv e the pointing accuracy of your telescope without ha ving to re-enter addition infor- mation.
14 T our Mode The StarSeeker includes a tour f eature which automatically allows the user to choose from a list of interesting objects based on the date and time in which you are observing. The automatic tour will displa y only those objects that are with- in your set filter limits .
15 Lunar Used for tr acking the moon when obser ving the lunar landscape. Solar Used f or tracking the Sun when solar observing using a proper solar filter . View Time-Site - Vie w Time-Site will displa y the last sav ed time and longitude/latitude entered in the hand control.
16 these values and use them each time it is turned on until they are changed. Slew Limits - Sets the limits in altitude that the telescope can slew without displa ying a warning message.

18 T elescope Basics A telescope is an instrument that collects and focuses light. The nature of the optical design determines how the light is f ocused. Some telescopes, known as refractors , use lenses. Other telescopes, known as reflectors, use mirrors .
19 • Hazy skies, f og, and mist can also make it difficult to f ocus when viewing terrestrially . The amount of detail seen under these conditions is greatly reduced. Also, when photographing under these conditions , the processed film ma y come out a little grainier than nor mal with low er con- trast and undere xposed.
20 Viewing Conditions Viewing conditions aff ect what you can see through y our telescope during an obser ving session. Conditions include transparency , sky illumination, and seeing. Understanding viewing conditions and the eff ect they ha ve on observing will help you get the most out of y our telescope.
21 NO TE: The center ring sticker need not e ver be removed from the primary mirr or . Because it lies directl y in the shadow of the secondary mirror , its presence in no wa y adver sely affects the optical performance of the telescope or the image quality .
22 Appendix A - TECHNICAL SPECIFICA TIONS.
23 Appendix B - GLOSSAR Y OF TERMS A- Absolute magnitude: The apparent magnitude that a star would ha ve if it were observed from a standard distance of 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light-y ears. The absolute magnitude of the Sun is 4.8. at a distance of 10 parsecs, it w ould just be visible on Earth on a clear moonless night awa y from surf ace light.
24 1 is 2.5 times brighter than a star of magnitude 2, and 100 times brighter than a magnitude 5 star . The br ightest star , Sirius, has an apparent magnitude of -1.6, the full moon is -12.7, and the Sun’ s brightness, expressed on a magnitude scale, is -26.
25 Appendix C - RS-232 CONNECTION Y ou can control y our StarSeeker telescope with a computer via the RS-232 por t located on the computerized hand control and using an optional RS-232 cable (Celestron #93920). The telescope can be controlled using popular astronomy soft- ware progr ams, such as Starr y Night ™ Pro .
