The Lumicon NGC Sky Vector™ is a state-of-the-art digital setting circle system, providing virtually any astronomical telescope, whether equatorial or altazimuth, with a continuous, real-time digital readout of right ascension and declination coordinates. It now incorporates a large 12,000-object database, 8192-step digital encoders (optional), higher-resolution display modes, plus current constellation and current chart number displays - all on a 16-digit red LED display. It can be integrated with a personal computer for display of celestial object coordinates.
The Lumicon NGC Sky Vector™ allows you to find an object easily in the GUIDE mode, where you become the 'drive motors' as the NGC Sky Vector guides you to your favorite deep sky object. There is no need to polar-align the telescope, and no need to input latitude, longitude, time, or date. Simply initialize on one or two stars and let the Lumicon NGC Sky Vector guide you to selected deep sky objects as you point your telescope.
Once you have become familiar with the Lumicon NGC Sky Vector, you will actually be able to find objects faster than with most fully computer-driven telescopes. You can also easily identify unknown objects with the IDENTIFY mode. Just center the mystery object in the eyepiece, press IDENTIFY, and presto! The Lumicon NGC Sky Vector identifies the object you have found!
The Lumicon NGC Sky Vector's alphanumeric display uses a simple, easy-to-read scrolling text format. The LED dot matrix display emits a monochromatic red light that will not interfere with dark-adapted vision. The brightness of the LED display can be controlled with the DIM button.
