- Celestron StarSense (SkyProdigy),
This was the first attempt with a quick align on the telescope, all i can say this works perfect!! next time when there is more visible n the sky then I will pay more attention to show how accurate it is.
my starsense was not working correctly, unable to reflash the unit...the celestron people helped me to get a replacement and now it is working fine with my samsung s3 mini and my fire tablet...great job Celestron...thx
Thx for the video, taking us through the actual manual I think was a good idea, I think it would work for me in Manual mode as my skies are blocked to the west by my house and I also have many 100ft trees around me.
I can see why people would buy and use this, but its not for me as it would only save a few mins time over my normal 2-Star-Align (+2 extra) process, which already puts objects in my CFOV just fine for me.
Thx Paul
Well i have sold the equipment, now i have a EQ 5, with a big 180mm Maksutov and connected to a laptop with stellarium and its a lot better ;)
Hey Bos, I bet the new star sense controller took longer to hook up than you thought it would. Question, do you think you may need to get a counter weight for the scope and mount?
Wat een spul man wil ik ook hebbe!! :D maar had je deze telescoop al of is deze nieuw?
Can I use the Moon as my centering point for initial aligment/calibration?
getting it plugged back in is a royal bitch, still working onit. came to youtube to see wtf i was doing wrong
I am green with envy at your setup :) I am still out skywatching with my 50+ year old binoculars LOL
Haha thanks juju, guitar hands ;0) that system works great!!
It's been almost a year, is the StarSense meeting all your AP needs?
Was it worth the money, in time saved and AP results? It's $330 these days..
Hi Richard, on my new channel you will see the update Celestron Starsense Technology, I must say i had only 2 times to setup the celestron nexstar clouds wind fog etc... it's a poor year for telescopes haha.
The starsense is good but it must complete dark outside so he can take the images from the sky.
Is it worth the money, yes and no its still a lot of money... but its more accurate than the normal star align for so far i could test it.
Excellent video, I like the part where you go over the installation & alignment instructions.This alone helps me to decide if it is a worthy purchase.
I shall probably watch this a few time b4 I decide to buy the StarSense for my 8SE/Evolution
Thanks!! Robert Cole,Thats a nice telescope Evolution!! The alignment is a bit better with the starsense but still keep in mind when there is to much light in the erea it wont work good, it must be dark.
take care , it is advertising, my starsense never work !!! and never shows "alignment complete " I do my alignment quicker than to try to use starsense, learn star position it is cheaper !
JPB B true on the part of learn to star align on your own part $400 for this thing ? I mean if it was like $200 I might buy it but idk I think it's easier to use skyalign I mean the pictures and videos show near the end how it doesn't stay centered my biggest issue with the SE series is I do my alignment and it's easy to lose the alignment switching my eyepiece for a camera.
The Hercules Cluster is Messier 13 (M13), not M15.
Now some clear skies!! ;0)
my alignment totally bloody failed.can anyone advise please!Andy.
Deze had ik al heel lang, de rest van de oude filmpjes zijn er niet meer ;0) dus de rus en deze zijn mijn enige kijkers nog.
Thanks for the update more toys for us boys and girls ; )
Hi mate, quick question. Once you have aligned the scope with this does it automaticly track (stay aligned) so you can do long exposures?
Hi m8, long exposures are not posible with this AZ mount you will need a EQ mount for it.
but the starsense works good, only when there is to much light from houses or full moon than its crap.
Hi Eugene, how it works with a VX mount I don't know. there is a guy on youtube with a EQ mount with the starsence device, perhaps you can better ask him. on my telescope it works very good.
mine wants a restart can anyone help ?
Haha yes indeed :D no the weight is minimal
Hello! I bought the Starsense AutoAlign, as I own a telescope LCM 114 and now I have a problem, I do not know where it should be housed Starsense. there are no existing holes suitable for fixing. you can give me some advice? Thank you.
Hi Gianlugi ,The LCM 114 telescope is for me uncharted territory.. so far i know the lcm has a not removable viewfinder.
+BOSB33R 2014 Hello! first of all I want to thank you for having responded to me!
yes, indeed LCM114 has pointer partially integrated with the cap that protects the telescope tube, but doing a little work of destruction could completely remove it ... but in my ignorance on the telescopes, I'm wondering ... is there a preset position to mount the StarSense AutoAlign? I am making this change would go to place it at the end of the tube .... excuse me if I went disorder I wish you a happy day!
Hi Gianlugi My choice would be the front of the telescope because he need to take pictures from the sky.If I were you I would buy velcro and strap it with the starsense around the telescope house? an idea ;0)
Awesome video. How does it work for alignment in the field?
Thank you MuahMan, alignment in the field is so simple put it on, set time and date and he does the work :0) you can view the video on my new channel BOSB33R 2014
Quick question where did you get the screws to screw down the large bracket?
Mine didn't come with any and I was trying to use screws i took of the rail attached to the finderscope but they seem too short.
Ohw.. Mine old screws did reach the tube.
BOSB33R 2014 Hi, at 1:56, there are 2 holes for the screws but it seems you only use 1 screw to hold down the large bracket. Is it because there is only 1 hole on the bracket that aligns with the holes in the tube? Does it affect the stability?
Cirrus Clouds
No i used both screws it only to make the video shorter.
with this apparatus in place, can you also connect a camera through the visual back?
No that dont work, in the future (what i read on websites) you wil be able to take pictures with this camera.
You'll be able to attach a camera to the scope, just as long as it's not this one. :p
Super !!!
what was that monster lens on Your DSLR ?
Thats a russentonne or MTO11CA maksutov telelens :0)
Thats a russentonne or MTO11CA maksutov telelens :0)
Had one years ago, now replaced by a skywatcher mak127, the russian tonne gave great shots of jupiter
Yes i have the skywatcher mak also!! very good telescope :0)
Haha yes :P
Awesome! :)
;0)
i have all the Hardware but cannot connect with starsense
+Ernest Joyner Which telescope you have?
nexstar 8 se
and the starsense it came with
Hi Ernest, stupid question maybe? Did you use the Starsence handcontroller? Because when you use the 'old one' it won't work.
LoL well the 50+ year old binoculars works also, and perhaps better than the new bino's ;0)
