Lumicon
Sky Vector 1
Is a
digital setting circle system, providing a continuous, real-time
digital readout of right ascension and declination coordinates.
It incorporates 4000-step digital encoders, high-resolution
display modes, current constellation and current chart number
displays, and a 210-object database - all on an 8-digit red LED
display.
The Lumicon Sky Vector 1 allows you to find an object easily in
the GUIDE mode, where you become the 'drive motors' as the Sky
Vector 1 guides you to your favourite deep sky object. There is
no need to polar-align the telescope, and no need to input
latitude, longitude, time, or date. Simply initialise on one or
two stars and let the Lumicon Sky Vector 1 guide you to selected
deep sky objects as you point your telescope.
Once you have become familiar with the Lumicon Sky Vector 1, you
will actually be able to find objects faster than with most
fully computer-driven telescopes. Available for the following
telescope mounts.
