Product description Designed specifically for use with their StarSense AutoAlign System and compatible motorized mounts, Celestron's StarSense Hand Controller connects to and is powered by the mount via a coiled cord. Once connected, it puts a 45,000+ object database in the palm of your hand and helps you to explore near and deep-sky celestial subjects from the Moon and planets; to galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. If you're not sure what is available overhead, simply use the Tour Mode and the controller will show you the best objects based on your current location, date, and time.To get you observing faster the controller works with the StarSense system to automatically align your scope with little input from the user, while the 3 rates ensure accurate tracking all night with little correction required. Backlash compensation and Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) help to increase the smoothness, precision, and accuracy of tracking. Its 4-line/18-character LCD screen gives you access to the intuitive menu-driven user-interface for fast navigation of the sub-menus while showing you all information in red to preserve night-adjusted vision. Variable brightness levels for the screen and button backlight ensure comfortable use. - Features
