ALIGNING YOUR ASTRO FI
To take full advantage of your computerized Astro Fi 6, you must first align the telescope with the sky using the Celestron
SkyPortal app. Once aligned, your telescope will automatically locate any celestial object you select on your screen! The
telescope also automatically tracks objects in the sky as the Earth rotates. This keeps objects centered in the eyepiece, and
makes it easy to share views with family and friends.
1. Set up your telescope as you did during the day. Make sure your 25mm eyepiece is installed. Set the tripod to a
comfortable height and level it. Plug the battery pack into the power port on the telescope.
2. Connect to the “Celestron-xx” WiFi network. Open the SkyPortal app and confirm the time and location on your screen.
This should automatically update from your device, but if it does not, you can go into the app settings and update this
manually. Select the telescope icon at on your screen, then press “Connect and Align”.
The app will now walk you through each step. Simply follow the on-screen instructions.
TAKE YOUR ASTRO FI OUT FOR A SPIN!
Now that your Astro Fi is aligned, the SkyPortal app will guide you through the universe using its interactive planetarium.
Hold your device up to the sky, and you will easily be able to identify bright stars, constellations, planets and deep space
objects outside of our Solar System. SkyPortal will point your telescope at any of these objects. Simply tap the object
on your screen, and select “GoTo.” You can also select the search icon to enter an object name, such as “Orion Nebula”,
“Jupiter”, or “Pleiades.”
3. Open Celestron Sky Portal and select “Connect to
Telescope”. Arrows will appear on your screen for
UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT. These motions are
referred to as altitude and azimuth, respectively.
4. Use the arrows to move your telescope. A slider will
adjust the motor speed.
Start by pointing at distant terrestrial objects. Locate
something with your StarPointer first, then look
at the object using the 25mm eyepiece. Switch to the 10mm eyepiece, and notice how it
increases the magnification and decreases the field of view. When you change eyepieces,
you may have to readjust the focus slightly to get the sharpest image.
Now that you are familiar with your telescope, you are ready to begin observing the night sky!
