tripod, Computerized Hand Control,
hand control holder, star diagonal,
two eyepieces, StarPointer nderscope,
accessory tray, battery holder,
documentation, including an owner’s
manual, and The SkyX First Light Edition
astronomy software.
4All three legs should be the same
length to provide a level platform for
the telescope. A bubble level is in-
cluded (inset) to assist in leveling.
7Hold the telescope fork arm and
place the bottom of the base inside
the tripod mounting platform as
shown.
2Assemble tripod by spreading the
legs out until the center leg brace is
fully extended.
5Place accessory tray on top of
center leg brace by lining up the
grooves on the tray to the post on the
brace.
8Thread the coupling screw into
the hole at the bottom of the fork arm
base. Tighten screw to secure the
fork arm.
3Extend tripod legs 6 to 8 inches by
loosening the tripod leg locking knob,
pulling the leg to desired length and
retightening knob.
6Once grooves are aligned, turn
accessory tray until it snaps into clips
on each leg brace.
9Rotate the tube clamp so that the
camera is pointed straight up.

Quick Set-up Guide [Continued]
Before you can begin observing, you must set-up your Computerized Hand Control and align your telescope. Step by
step instructions are included in the following Hand Control Setup section.
1 Set up your telescope in an
outdoor location away from large
trees and buildings that may obstruct
SkyProdigy’s view of the sky.
4Press the ALIGN button on the
Computerized Hand Control to begin
the alignment process.
7Once it has identified a
positive match, the Computerized
Hand Control will display “Solved.”
2 Face the front of the telescope
towards an open area of the sky that
has a clear horizon to the right
(clockwise) of its starting position.
Remove lens cap from camera.
5SkyProdigy will automatically
move to its “home position” and
begin image modeling* the sky.
8SkyProdigy will then move to
a different position in the sky and
repeat the process until three images
are successfully acquired. The
Computerized Hand Control will
display “Alignment Complete” when
nished.
3Turn power switch (located on the
side of the telescope fork arm) to the
“on” position. The LCD display will
display “SkyProdigy Ready.“
6Once SkyProdigy has begun its
alignment process, it is important not
to touch or move the telescope in any
way. Also, while image modeling*, do
not obstruct, cover or shine light into
the camera lens located on the fork
arm of the mount.
9Now that your telescope is
properly aligned, you are ready to nd
your rst object. Press the SKY TOUR
button on the Computerized Hand
Control. The hand control will display a
list of objects that are visible from your
current location.
In order for the SkyProdigy to accurately point to objects in the sky, it must rst align itself with known
positions (stars) in the sky. With this information the telescope can create a model of the sky, which it uses
to locate any object in its database.
Computerized
Hand Control
10 Press the OBJECT INFO button
to read information about the object
displayed. Press the DOWN Scroll
button to display the next
object on the tour. Press ENTER to
slew (move) the telescope to the
displayed object.
For general usage information, please consult your user’s manual.
If you have questions or problems with set-up, please contact
Celestron Technical Support: 310-803-5955
Designed and intended for those 13 years of age and older.
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.
