Re: StarSense - MARVELOUS for older viewer.

Good day Nick
You bought this, right?
If so, the manual describes the process of changing your location on page 24.
Once I have everything connected and switched on, I would use the hand controller and select Menu | Time and Location to set the correct time and my coordinates.
The section "StarSense User Auto Align" on page 13 describes the steps to let you choose where the telescope must point automatically to do the alignment if you have many obstructions.
"StarSense User Auto Align allows you to customize where StarSense points the telescope during alignment . This is useful if there are large portions of the sky that are obstructed or inaccessible."
A belated thanks for your post, Mike. I just bought a StarSense after reading what you said. Not used it properly yet (due to weather) but it looks like just what my neck and back need. Have carried out initial calibration successfully however and it looks good. My garden has a fair bit of view restriction (houses, trees) but it seemed happy to Auto-Sense. Does anyone know how I enter my latitude and longitude please? I cannot find it at all in the Settings. I have a choice of cities and have entered London (fifty miles away). All previous Celestron handsets I have had allowed me to enter co-ordinates.

The handset does seem pretty cold-sensitive and needs a warmer to function.
