Thank you very much Mike ,precise comment ,actually I was confused when they mentioned Enter after centering the first object in the eyepiece ,I returned back several times to the manual just tofigur out the same as you mentioned ,then when I saw your comment everything is clear now .The video mentioned by mistake the other way ,thanks again.
Great video, that is about 90-95% of what Celestron SCT owners need for the first couple of times they to perform a 2 star or 3 star alignment. Sending it to a friend who is getting their first Celestron SCT telescope with a VX mount..
This is my first ever automatic telescope. I got it mainly just for the fact I can use buttons as my hands are shaky but this feature is a really nice addition
First thing nobody it's telling you about this alignment it's you should repeat this alignment operation anytime you turn off and turn on the system. The system dos not have any memory!
Lauri Raudsepp I guess because of the same reason why you tension guitar strings 'upwards' and not by softening the tension. The gears of the motor will always have a tiny bit of slack in them. By having the motors push the different parts upwards, instead of only guiding them down, you prevent those parts from hicking up and then 'falling down' in once.
Thanks man - good answer. Still takes practice to get it just right! Sometimes it seems as though I've sucessfully aligned my telescope but then it just keeps moving and moving and moving withouth stopping at the correct point.
I think this is a fine video that clarifies the centering process which has been a bit confusing due to the change in direction when the slew rates drop below 6; also, information from the blogosphere does not comport with these explanations. But to see the proper buttons pushed for the final two moves to the center of the eyepiece makes it all clear: thanks for producing this.
Hello, i have recently purchased a Celestron 8SE (Cassegrain). Ive been having many alignment issues. in time i put in the time (military).i had just put 00,15,00 or 12:15 AM, i had a successful 3 object alignment.it is January 24 2016 and have been ready to view of the 5 Perfect planet lineup phenomenon. After the successful skyAlign (with the moon in its last phase, and almost directly north of me) i had entered for the telescope to align to the moon. The telescope auto aligned to a complete different direction of the moon. Obviously the telescope isnt doing something wrong, i am. Do i need to buy something for my telescope. Please Respond back i know i will love my telescope if i can just work it the right way, i have had my telescope for over 3 months and have only seen the moon/Stars. I have hit a dead end wall and have no experts or anything i have to help me. I have searched through the manual various amount of times. Thank You, God Bless.
I am over 300Km from nearest listed city. No option is given in instructions to customise site. I am told one must "reset factory settings" to do this but no instructions on that either! Please help!!
My hand control keeps saying “verifying packages” it won’t change from that. Do I need to do something to move forward and connect and align the telescope?
How do you "Re-Align" if a tripod leg is bumped? I've tried shutting off and re-doing alignment, but the previous failed alignment was held in memory. It will not allow a re-alignment.
I don't understand how I can choose three random bright stars and the scope brain knows which stars were picked . The scope must know which three in order to align itself with the polar axis. Is it as simple as there aren't that many bright stars to choose and any three stars I choose have different enough triangles to deduce only one conclusion ?
Basically, yes. There are only so many "bright stars" and thus there are a known number of angles between them for the given place on Earth and time you are looking. Once you set the location and time, it essentially sets its database so it knows the angles of the bright stars. When you set align on the three stars, it runs some calculations between the angles you selected and compares it to the database.
If you have your telescope in the same spot, then you should not have to align it when you power it on. If you move your telescope, then you will have to go through the start alignment.
I am from India ane for the time zones theres only +5 or +6 while India has +5.5 and country wise it shows only mumbai. I live in bengaluru much south.. what do i do with the settings?

Celestron hi after setting up my alignment, I leave the telescope in the exact same place overnight, but when i turn on the next day it asks me to begin alignment once again? Please help. :))

Don't you have to level the telescope? I have Nexstar Celestron 4se and I have tried aligning with various methods as you mentioned. Aligning is always successful but the object after alignment does not stay put in the field of view. Telescope is for sure tracking it but is not on right path.
hola soy de colombia como puedo alinear mi telescopio celestron cpc 1100 si no encuentro mi zona horaria y el gps integrado siempre me indica un horario adelantado creo o atrasado no estoy seguro. les agradeseria q me ayudaran y porfavor como puedo descargar el ultimo frimware para este telescopio gracias.
Watching the instructional videos are helpful and can’t wait to get the telescope, my wife’s retirement present and she can’t wait either.
The video shows that one needs to press ENTER after having centered the first object in the eyepiece. (4:25). This should of course be ALIGN.

How would it? it has to know where its looking...
Best Video tutorial for aligning a telescope, thanks heaps!!!
Excelente!!!!!...... Se muestra el procedimiento muy sencillamente para alinear el telescopio aun si no eres un experto. Saludos desde México
Love the music, nice going Celestron
THANK YOU so much for this very helpful, concise video to show me how to set up my NexStar 127 SLT out of the Box. THANK YOU!
Awesome video. I do have question though: why do we need to center the stars in the eyepiece using the "up" and "right" direction buttons last?
Lauri Raudsepp right?? did it work you mean in that configuration or order??
Lauri Raudsepp I guess because of the same reason why you tension guitar strings 'upwards' and not by softening the tension. The gears of the motor will always have a tiny bit of slack in them. By having the motors push the different parts upwards, instead of only guiding them down, you prevent those parts from hicking up and then 'falling down' in once.

What is the background music? Like it so much!
I will receive my Nexstar 4SE coming days. Cannot wait to have an analog glimpse at the moon surface, and maybe the ISS some day 😁
This has to be one of the most frustrating things ever...
Guess it took Celestron to make a perfect tutorial
wish the damm thing had a battery to store the date and time soooo annoying
I have the optional GPS for my Nexstar 6E...is there a video on the aligning procedure with GPS?

On the first object, the video says to hit 'Enter', DO NOT DO THIS. HIT 'ALIGN' LIKE IT SHOWS IN THE SECOND AND THIRD OBJECTS

Do i need to alignment the telescope, every time that i turned it off ( remove batteries and disconed from power supply), thanks
If you have your telescope in the same spot, then you should not have to align it when you power it on. If you move your telescope, then you will have to go through the start alignment.

Does it matter if mine says lcm ready?
my cpc 11 with gps only needs to locate 1 star for alignment, and my c11 gps nextar only needs 2 stars for an alignment
I have the same scope but you still should do more then one star as it tracks alot better!
is there a way for me to change the place once that was set up?
Not that I have been able to figure out.
I did that it said confirmed. I closed it. I opened it up the next day it was reastarted
You have to repeat the process every time
Once it is aligned, does it auto track?
First you need to chose an object, but yea after that it auto tracks
Don't you have to level the telescope? I have Nexstar Celestron 4se and I have tried aligning with various methods as you mentioned. Aligning is always successful but the object after alignment does not stay put in the field of view.
Telescope is for sure tracking it but is not on right path.

SKYALIGN DOES NOT WORK. Use Auto Two-Star!
Yes it does.
k
Please tell me I don’t have to repeat this every time I want to use it
you dont repeat all steps, but you do have to do this procedure everytime. how else would it know where it is?
