The Celestron SkyProdigy 6 SCT Computerised Telescope has an automatic alignment process to select from thousands of objects to view. It comes with Sky Tour, and this feature offers a customised list of the best objects in the sky to view for your exact time and location anywhere in the world. Knowledge of the night sky is not required and one touch turns anyone into an instant astronomer. Celestron's SkyProdigy telescopes use an internal camera and patented StarSense Technology to automatically align with the night sky and determine where the telescope is currently pointing. The camera automatically captures an image of the sky, which is processed internally to positively identify the stars in the image. Once a positive match is found, SkyProdigy determines the coordinates of the center of the captured image. The process is automatically repeated twice more so that the system has three known alignment points which can be used to make an accurate model of the night sky. The user can select any celestial object in the hand controller's database, and SkyProdigy will automatically move itself to the correct position. The SkyProdigy's internal camera does not have an external output. The captured images are used internally solely for the purpose of self-aligning the SkyProdigy telescope.
