SKY COMMANDER DIGITAL SETTING CIRCLES

The Sky Commander displays your scope's R.A. & Dec. on a large 32 character backlit display. "Zero-in" mode guides you to any object in just seconds!

For any of the 9,000+ objects stored in the Sky Commander's Catalogs of Celestial Objects, simply call up the object with a few button pushes and move the scope in the indicated directions until the display "zeroes."

For objects not in any of the Catalogs, or one-of-a-kind objects (like comets & asteroids), the object's celestial coordinates can be added to the Sky Commander's Special Catalog. You can then guide your scope to the object just as you would any other cataloged object.

For more information, visit the
Sky Commander website.
