Now the mount knows how the sky above it looks like and locates any further object at the push of a button.

Comprehensive star catalogues and TOUR function for an overview

The hand controller contains a data base mit more than 4,000 objects. Among them are, of course, the planets of the solar system and countless galaxcies, emission nebulae, star clusters and interesting stars. Is it difficult for you to choose? Then use the TOUR mode which shows you a selection of the most beautiful objects every evening and explains each of them per text output in the display.
