Observing, astro-imaging, and automatic wireless alignment .On the technology side, we added StarSense Auto Align for our go-to teles, as well as Wi-Fi tele control with over our new Sky Portal app. With optics, EdgeHD flat-field and coma-free astro-imaging systems were made to accommodate modern imaging with cameras of all types, especially larger format CCD and DSLR cameras. We’ve added our StarSense Auto Align technology to the Sky Portal app, making Sky Portal the most advanced tele control app offered. StarSense not only automatically aligns itself from your smart device, it also has advanced modelling, allowing you enter up to 10 alignment points for the most precision pointing accuracy possible. Even the most advanced tele users will love using StarSense Auto Align through the app. This affordable accessory replaces the expensive software usually used for advanced modelling. When your alignment needs to be perfect, add up to 10 additional calibration stars to achieve a new level of accuracy, great for locating objects in the camera’s field of view for astroimaging. Tracking is great, and so too is the flat-field, coma-free EdgeHD optical system. The EdgeHD optical system offers bright, sharp views with StarBright XLT optical coatings—a great choice for visual observers and budding astroimagers alike. A StarSense hand control is still included, but is not necessary when using NexStar Evolution with the app.
