Setting The Date And Time; Care And Maintenance - Uncle Milton Industries Star Theater 2 Instruction Manual

Setting the Date and Time

Once you've taken the audio tour, you can set your
planetarium to project the night sky for any date and
hour. You can easily adjust your planetarium for any
date you wish: your birthday, a holiday, the final day of
school, last Thursday, or any other date. Here is how:
1. Setting the date: With projection lamp o , turn
light wand until the month you want lines up with
the pointer on date selector (see Fig. 6). Below the
month, there are markings indicating the 1st, 10th
and 20th of the month. Turn light wand to the left (so that Star Sphere turns to the west)
until the date you want lines up with the pointer. For example, if you want to project the
night sky the way it is on July 4th, first select July, then turn further to the left, to just past the
mark for the first day of the month.
2. Setting the time: Once you have selected the month and date, rotate the time ring—
without turning the light wand—so that the time at which the sun sets lines up with the
pointer. (The time at sunset can be found in the local newspaper or on the Internet.) Now
turn the light wand to the exact time you want. (Note: The months and dates will change on
the date selector as you select the time; once you've selected the date and set the time ring
for sunset, the time selection function takes over.) You can set your planetarium to project
the stars for any time of the night. You can even see what stars are up during the day, when
they are not visible.
