1. Insert the low powered eyepiece. 2. Then place your phone in the StarSense

Dock.

3. Next, you’ll center your phone over

the StarSense Dock’s mirror. Turn the

knobs at the bottom of the bracket until

your phone’s camera view is centered,

unobstructed, in the mirror.

4. Next, we need to align the phone’s view to

the telescope’s view. To do this, start by

pointing your telescope at a very distant

object. It’s best to choose an object that’s

at least a quarter-mile away.

We recommend:

• A streetlight

• A stop sign

5. Center the object in your telescope’s

eyepiece.

6. Slide the camera view until the same object

is centered in the crosshairs.

Now we’re ready for stargazing!

You’ll need to wait for the sky to get

dark enough that stars are visible.

• A car license plate

• The top of a tree

Aligning Your Phone to Your Telescope

In just a few minutes, you’ll be able to locate all the best objects in the night sky with the help of your StarSense Explorer

telescope and smartphone. This tutorial walks you through setting up StarSense Explorer and using the app to navigate the sky.

First, you’ll need to set up your phone and StarSense Explorer. We recommend practicing these next few steps during the day.

To begin, set up your telescope according to the instructions in the Quick Setup Guide that came in the box.

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.
