Enter button. If the number of the IC object you wish to view contains four digits, it is not necessary to press Enter after inputting the fourth digit.

The object’s catalog designation will be shown in the upper left corner of the LCD screen, with the guide arrows in the upper right. The lower left will show the constellation the object resides in, and the object’s common name (if it has one) or a brief description of the object will be shown in the lower right. Move the telescope in the corresponding direc- tions shown by the guide arrows.

You can get more information about the selected object by pressing the Enter button. The second line of the LCD display will then cycle information about the object you are view- ing such as its celestial coordinates (R.A. and Dec.), magnitude (brightness), size (in arc- minutes or arc-seconds), and a brief scrolling text description.

When you are finished viewing the selected IC object, you may scroll to another IC object by using the arrow buttons, or you can select another IC object to view by pressing the IC button again.

6.Locating Deep Sky Objects by Object Type

Rather that trying to select objects by catalog numbers, you may wish to simply view cer- tain types of objects. This is where the Nebula, Galaxy, and Cluster buttons come in handy. These buttons will access a selection of the best and brightest nebulas, galaxies, and star clusters in the night sky.

The Nebula, Cluster and Galaxy buttons are organized by constellation. So, before using these buttons, decide in which constellation you would like to view an object. Choose a constellation that is at least 40˚ high in the sky to get a good view. If you are unsure of the constellations currently visible in your night sky, consult a planisphere or the monthly star chart at telescope.com.

Locating Nebulas

Amongst the most beautiful objects in the night sky, nebulas are clouds of dust and gas that are lit by a nearby stellar source. There are several different types of nebulas; emis- sion nebulas, which are where star systems form, planetary nebulas, which are the result of a star dying, and reflection nebulas, which are caused by dust reflecting starlight. Most have low surface brightness, so a dark sky free of light-pollution is best for a night of view- ing nebulas.

To view a nebula, press the Nebula button on the controller. The LCD screen will then display the word “NEBULA” with a flashing three-letter constellation designation after it. Now, select the constellation in which you would like to view a nebula. Use the arrow but- tons to scroll through the list of constellations. If you are unsure which constellation the three-letter designation represents, refer to Appendix C. Once you have selected the con- stellation, press Enter. A nebula in that constellation will now appear on the LCD screen, along with the guide arrows to lead you to the nebula. The current constellation is shown in the lower left, and the nebula’s proper name or catalog number is in the lower right. For more information about the nebula selected, press the Enter button.

To go to the next nebula in the selected constellation, simply press the up arrow button. The guide arrows will now direct you to the next nebula in the constellation. If there are no more nebulas available in that constellation, a nebula from the next constellation (in
