  • Page 4 My personal planetarium Universe2go+ Thank you for purchasing the Omegon Universe2go+ planetarium. With this hand-held planetarium, you can spend many wonderful hours under the starry sky and get to know it better. Universe2go+ offers you so much more than a conventional star map. It allows you to see the starry sky along with constellation lines for orientation, as well as objects and object data.

    How do you activate menu navigation? To do this, turn the star viewer downwards towards the floor and then bring it up to the horizontal direction, i.e. as if you were looking straight ahead. This will display the menu. To control and select the menu items conveniently in planetarium mode, we recommend that you do this in the viewing direction.

    C Make sure that the Universe2go+ star viewer sits directly on your nose. Tilting the star viewer independently of the nose can lead to diminished sensor quality. You can also check possible sources of error under the menu item Settings => General => Calibration. Note: The stars can also be observed wonderfully and completely relaxed from a deckchair.

    6. The types of functions at a glance There are various options available for exploring the starry sky. 6.1. The star map mode The star map mode is automatically activated when you open the app. This mode gives you the opportunity to explore the starry sky with its stars, constellations, planets and deep-sky objects directly on your mobile phone screen during the day and you will be able to hear the description through the speaker.
  • Page 12 can use this mode only with the star viewer. You can use Universe2go+ with the cover attached both at night under the starry sky and during the day. A Starter mode – This is the simplest mode, in which only stars and constellation lines are displayed.
  • Page 13 Fig. 3 C Mythology mode – In this mode Universe2go+ tells you stories of the heroes, monsters, kings and beautiful maidens that the ancient Greeks associated with the stars. In addition to the lines, a drawing is displayed for each constellation. If you aim at the name of the constellation, as in starter mode, you will be told an interesting story about the mythological figure after two seconds.

    D Deep-Sky mode – Here you can dive into the depths of space and discover distant galaxies, beautiful nebulae, magnificent star clusters and exploding supernovae that you cannot see with the naked eye. As with the stars, you can activate an information frame by focussing on the deep-sky object in the display.

Tapping on the icon again restores the previous status. The display for both eyes is automatically activated when the device is used during the day, as the restriction only offers an advantage at night.

    For a particularly intense experience of the starry sky, we recommend reducing the brightness of your display as much as possible. This will give you the best possible view of the night sky behind the AR. You can make this setting in your mobile phone settings.
