All Lumicon Sky Vectors Feature:
Just sight on one or two stars to align.
Digital Right Ascension coordinate readout to one minute of RA.
Digital Declination readout to 10 arc-minutes.
The sophisticated computer will guide you to the object selected by displaying the real-time
angular separation. Just move the telescope until the angles displayed become “0.0” using the
GUIDE mode.
4000 pulse (0.09º accuracy) high resolution digital optical encoders.
Polar alignment is not required.
Motor drive is not required.
All SKY VECTORS use Epoch 2000.0 coordinates.
Works equally well for alt-azimuth telescopes and equatorial mount telescopes.
No need to enter latitude, longitude, date, sidereal time etc. Just sight 1-2 stars!

The new Lumicon NGC Sky Vector uses a 16 digit display and contains the complete NGC
catalogue of nearly 8000 objects. However, this venerable catalogue has been completely
revised and updated by expert observer Steve Gottlieb to identify and label nonexistent NGC
objects, and to correct hundreds of errors. In addition Steve Gottlieb added thousands of the
most interesting non NGC objects. Essentially everything worth seeing can be found in the
Lumicon NGC Sky Vector. The GUIDE and IDENTIFY modes make this easy and fun to use!
