Tutorial 1: Celestrial sphere

GET1042: Sky gazing tutorial 1


Telescope model: Nexstar
Precaution:
1. Ensure that the power plug is underneath the telescope. This is to make sure that the wires have enough space to "swim" around.
2. Ensure that the screws are always on. Do not unscrew the small screws
3.  Ensure that the telescope hinge is facing downwards


Capturing a star:
1. Locate the brightest star e.g Sirius
2. Using the two screw on the top of the telescope, this is your aim line. You can use your thumb and middle finger to form a straight line to estimate the aim point.
3. Aim directly at Sirius, or any other bright star
4. Once Star is spotted, press enter.
5. Press align when the star is at the centre.
