ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING THE STARSENSE CAMERA TO
YOUR TELESCOPE
Most Sky-Watcher telescopes fit the small
camera bracket. So you will need to remove
the large camera bracket on StarSense.
To change from the pre-installed Large Camera
Bracket to the Small Camera Bracket:
1. Slightly loosen the socket head screw using
the included 4 mm Allen wrench. Do not
remove the screw entirely.
2. Remove the lens shroud by unthreading it.
3. Slide the bracket off the front of the camera.
Be careful not to lose the two orange rings.
4. Slide the new bracket onto the camera
and screw the lens shroud back on. Make
sure each of the two orange rings are
placed in front of and behind the bracket
so they function as washers.
CONNECTING STARSENSE TO YOUR MOUNT
1. Secure the interface box to the tripod leg
of your mount using the strap with the hook
and loop fasteners.
2. Plug the 8-pin SynScan cable from the
Interface Box to your mount. This is the cable
that came with your Sky-Watcher mount
that is normally used for your SynScan
hand control.
3. Plug the included 6-pin cable from the Star
Sense camera to the Interface Box.
4. Plug your StarSense hand control into
the Interface Box.
5. Power the mount on as normal and begin
using StarSense.
Turn the mount on, and StarSense will
boot up. It will take several seconds for the
camera to respond, then the hand control
will display "StarSense Auto Press ALIGN
to begin".
