EXCLUSIVE NO-WAIT
STARGAZING

TO THE HOME OF PLUTO
S Everything fits into three subassemblies that
clamp to the telescope, requiring no additional
holes and leaving no scars.

Bluetooth to an Android tablet running SkySafari. There's also a wireless
version that talks to iOS devices. To
use the system, you put SkySafari in
telescope-control mode, align on two
stars, and from that point on SkySafari
follows and displays every move the
telescope makes.
Lauren quickly learned that the
encoders have to be almost perfectly
perpendicular to the rotation axis or
the software gets a skewed picture of
the telescope's aim. When they weren't
aligned properly, she could aim the scope
at the horizon and spin it in a circle
and watch SkySafari's aiming indicator
weave up and down. Using SkySafari as a
real-time diagnostic proved to be a good
method for adjusting the correct position
for the encoders, though, and now that
they're mounted orthogonally, the scope
can hit targets anywhere in the sky with
½° precision. Even a less-than-perfect
alignment puts objects in the eyepiece
nearly every time.
Setup takes an additional 10 minutes
or so beyond the telescope's normal
assembly time. And after that, with
SkySafari showing you exactly where
you're aimed, observing goes as fast as
you want to push it.
