    Computerized Hand Control In order for the SkyProdigy to accurately point to objects in the sky, it must first 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.
  • Page 4 (move) the telescope to the displayed object. *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.
