With Magellan performing the search for you, you'll spend more time enjoying the spectacular results. Once you have this system in place, locking onto any of 12,218 celestial objects is as easy as pointing your Starfinder telescope. Magellan I is a full-featured computer that can be fitted to any Dobsonian or (DC-powered) Starfinder Equatorial. Features include:Flexible Operation:Magellan I takes only 10 or 15 seconds to find any object in the sky either by: (a) calling up one of the 12,000 database objects stored in Magellan's memory with only a few strokes of the controller's pushbuttons; or (b) locating objects not stored in the database by entering their celestial coordinates from a star chart.Microprocessor-Controlled:Packed within Magellan's hand controller are two powerful microprocessors, Motorola 68HC11 and PIC16C54, that process encoder data and calculate telescope position in milliseconds. A SYNC command updates the system's microprocessors to any database object to reduce inaccurate pointing.Large 32-Character LCD Red-Backlighted Display:Magellan I uses the same popular LCD display included with the Meade LX200 hand controller and provides for variable red-backlighted illumination from dim to bright.A Complete Easy-to-Use System!Each Magellan I unit is supplied as a complete unit, with all required hardware, encoders, and cords making installation is simple.
