Hubble SkyHub2 Wireless & USB Digital Setting Circle System

The Hubble SkyHub operates via Bluetooth or USB, continuously tracking your telescope's position using two encoders affixed to its axes. This data is relayed to Android, Windows, iOS, or Mac OS devices, updating the telescope's pointing direction in real-time via your preferred planetarium software.

Aligning your scope is straightforward: aim your telescope at any star, then tap the same star on Sky Safari to complete a one-star alignment. Touch any star on the screen and adjust your scope until its position aligns precisely with the target star on the screen – a simple "Ding," and you're done!

For enhanced accuracy, you can optionally perform a two-star alignment at any time.

The Hubble SkyHub Digital Setting Circle features revolutionary high-resolution (8192 PPR), compact, and highly energy-efficient ball bearing encoders. It boasts 80% greater power efficiency and is only about 15% the size of a traditional encoder.
