Using STAR WALK
TM
2 for Telescope
A stargazing smartphone software application (e.g. Star
Walk ™ 2 for telescope for iOS and Android) helps you find
and identify the celestial objects easily.
Select “Take a Tour” (Menu
Take a tour) to
familiarize yourself with the various app features.
The App language will follow your smartphone’s language
setting.
Features Highlight:
IDENTIFY THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS
After the smartphone adapter is attached to the telescope,
the smartphone orientation is aligned with the telescope.
Utilizing the smartphone’s location and orientation, a star
map application can show the real time simulated sky view
on the screen matching the view through the telescope.
Names of the stars or celestial objects are shown on screen
and automatically updated when users adjust the telescope
or move the telescope to a different location.
SEARCH AND DIRECT
Another advantage of using the application software is that
users can search for a celestial object. The screen will
guide users which direction to move the telescope.
