About this manual

The Stellar Guide assists you in searching for and locating celestial objects by displaying right ascension, declination, classification and magnitude. It stores 800 objects, offers a stopwatch, and works in both hemispheres with equatorial or alt‑azimuth mounts.

The manual covers connecting the battery box and encoders, initial setup, polar alignment, selecting alignment stars, object selection, and guiding the telescope to the target. It also explains brightness adjustment, language selection, and the guide lamp behavior.
