Quick Start Guide
LiveStar™ Planetarium #9200
Step 1. Align base due south.
Align the compass (at the base of globe) to point south. That is, the “S” should
be on the outer rim.
Step 2. Set local latitude.
Set up the LiveStar™ Mini Planetarium to match your geographic latitude. If you
do not know your latitude, you can visit www.iOptron.com/location
to find your
latitude. Next, loosen the two Polar Altitude hand wheels (on either side of the
globe) and manually swing the U-Bar out until your latitude aligns with the inner
mark. Then re-lock both hand wheels.
Step 4. Plug in power cord.
To power up the Mini Planetarium – plug the power cord into the bottom of the
Mini Planetarium and then into a wall outlet. A red light will appear in the date
wheel.
Step 5. Using remote control.
Use the remote control to turn on the light. When you first hit the light button on the remote
control, you will notice the light is dim. You can hit the light button again to make it even
brighter.
Press the speed button (bottom right button) and experience the change of the night sky
as time goes by. There are two speeds. Press once for slow and twice for fast. By clicking
a third time you can stop the globe from rotating. (Note: the motor has a safety feature
which shuts off after 15 minutes of continuous rotation)
To change direction press the direction button (bottom left button). Press once to change
direction. Press twice to resume the same direction.
With the LiveStar™ Mini Planetarium from iOptron you and your family can
experience the excitement of going to a planetarium right from inside your
own home! The LiveStar™ Mini Planetarium projects the night sky right onto
the ceiling and walls allowing you to explore the stars indoors. You’ll be able
to see the stars and constellations – even see the Milky Way. Plus, the
planetarium rotates to mimic the rotation of the night sky! Simple to set up
and use – it provides a fun way to learn about astronomy.
Fun for the home or classroom!

Step 3a. Set day
Manually move the month dial until
the current month and day aligns with
the zero on the top dial (see yellow
arrow). Note: Each month consists of
3 marks or 30 days (see area
between the red lines). So each mark
is 10 days. Shown here is March 15 –
in the middle of March.
Step 3b. Set hour
Now, manually move both dials
at the same time
until the current
hour is front center (see yellow
dash). Shown here is 14:00 or
2pm. So this example shows the
sky at 2pm on March 15.
