1. Insert the low powered eyepiece. 2. Then place your phone in the StarSense
Dock.
3. Next, you’ll center your phone over
the StarSense Dock’s mirror. Turn the
knobs at the bottom of the bracket until
your phone’s camera view is centered,
unobstructed, in the mirror.
4. Next, we need to align the phone’s view to
the telescope’s view. To do this, start by
pointing your telescope at a very distant
object. It’s best to choose an object that’s
at least a quarter-mile away.
We recommend:
• A streetlight
• A stop sign
5. Center the object in your telescope’s
eyepiece.
6. Slide the camera view until the same object
is centered in the crosshairs.
Now we’re ready for stargazing!
You’ll need to wait for the sky to get
dark enough that stars are visible.
• A car license plate
• The top of a tree
