Levenhuk SkyMatic Telescopes Quick Start Guide
Brightest Star Align
• You will be prompted to select the region of observations from eight options, i.e. N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. Each
direction covers a span of 90° along the azimuth. Select the required region and confirm by pressing ENTER.
• The hand controller will then compile a list of bright stars in the observed region. The first line denotes the name and
magnitude of the star. The second line tells you the approximate location of the star. Choose a star from the list and
press ENTER to continue.
Before you can use the database of your new telescope for celestial observations, you need to set it up with the hand
controller. Follow this simple procedure:
1. Make sure the mount is leveled and the tripod is stable.
2. Enter the current coordinates with the hand controller: input the longitude first, followed by the latitude, e.g. 060 04' W
49 09' N. Use the scroll keys to select the required cardinal direction (W for west, E for east, N for north and S for south).
Input the current time zone in hours and minutes (+ for Eastern Hemisphere, – for Western Hemisphere). Confirm each
input by pressing ENTER.
Note: use maps.google.com to find out your current coordinates and worldtimezone.com to find out your current time zone.
3. Enter the current date in MM/DD/YYYY format. Confirm the input by pressing ENTER.
4. Enter the current time in 24-hour format. Confirm the input by pressing ENTER.
5. Upon entering the current time, you will be prompted to set up the daylight saving time. Use scroll keys to select YES or
NO and press ENTER to confirm.
6. Once you are finished with these settings, a Begin alignment? message will appear on the screen.
Select the alignment method you want to use (Brightest Star Align or 2-Star align) and press ENTER to confirm.

• You will have to navigate to the chosen star manually with the direction keys on the hand controller. You can increase the
rotation rate with the RATE key on the hand controller (ranges from 0 to 9). Once the star is centered in the field of
view, press ENTER to confirm.
• You will then be prompted to select the secondary star for alignment. The telescope will navigate to this star
automatically, but you will have to center it manually.
• If the alignment has been done properly, you will be notified with Alignment Successful message. Otherwise, Alignment
Failed will appear and the process will have to be repeated.
2-Star align
• The hand controller will compile a list of bright stars, visible from your location. Select the most familiar star with the
scroll keys and press ENTER. Manually navigate to the selected star with the direction keys on the hand controller, then
center it in the field of view. Press ENTER once you have centered it.
• Another list of stars will appear, prompting you to choose the secondary star for alignment. Select one of the stars and
the telescope will automatically rotate to the chosen object. Manually center the star in the field of view and press
ENTER to confirm.
• If the alignment has been done properly, you will be notified with Alignment Successful message. Otherwise, the process
will have to be repeated.
7. Upon aligning the telescope, you can use the database to observe any of the forty thousand celestial objects within it.
