The Star Pointer is the quickest and easiest way to point your telescope exactly at a desired object in the sky. It's like having
a laser pointer that you can shine directly onto the night sky. The Star Pointer is a zero magnification pointing tool that
uses a coated glass window to superimpose the image of a small red dot onto the night sky. While keeping both eyes open
when looking through the Star Pointer, simply move your telescope until the red dot, seen through the Star Pointer, merges
with the object as seen with your unaided eye. The red dot is produced by a light-emitting diode (LED); it is not a laser
beam and will not damage the glass window or your eye. The Star Pointer comes equipped with a variable brightness
control, two axes alignment control and mounting brackets. Before the Star Pointer is ready to be used, it must be attached
to the telescope tube and properly aligned:
