GuideStar Software

The NexStar HC has an RS-232 port on the back of the hand control, allowing it to be controlled using the GuideStar telescope
control software. Linking the NexStar to a computer requires the use of a RS-232 cable. Connect the phone jack connector to the
RS-232 port in the hand control and the 9-pin connector to the back of your computer. Once connected, install the GuideStar CD-
ROM onto your computer and follow the on-screen instruction. The GuideStar software gives you all the "Go-To" features of the
NexStar GT hand control including a 4,000 object database, AutoAlign based on date and location, and helpful information for
hundreds of objects. For information on using many of the GuideStar features, refer to the AutoAlign instructions in the NexStar
GT section of the manual. The GuideStar software also has help buttons to explain many of the commonly used fields.
