Using With A Finder; Connecting Starsense Hand Control To Your Telescope - Celestron starsense autoalign User Manual

USING WITH A FINDER

Although StarSense replaces the need for a
finderscope, you may still wish to use a finder for
quick reference, or to assist with the one-time center
calibration of the StarSense camera and telescope .
Some optical tubes, like Schmidt-Cassegrains and
EdgeHDs have threaded holes to accept finder-
scope brackets in multiple locations .
The large accessory dovetail bar that is used for
guide scopes on Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrains
and EdgeHD telescopes will obstruct the Star-
Sense's Large Camera Bracket . The CPC 800 fork
arm also obstructs with the StarSense camera . To fit
the camera in this configuration, attach the base and
Large Camera Bracket backwards as shown .
