A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly reorient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database.<br /><br />While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone’s gyros and accelerometers, which aren’t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece.<br /><br />High Quality Altazimuth Mount with Slow Motion Control<br />An ultra-stable altazimuth mount provides a sturdy foundation for the telescope. Slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes help you move the telescope smoothly and zero in your target.
