Blue's Fantasy is excited to announce their versatile telescope system is now available as a stand alone display screen, for people that don't have the space or prim allowances for one of our full telescope systems!
The display can view any of the images available from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (http://www.sdss.org/). You can use the included HUD to navigate the sky and zoom in or out on objects. While wearing the HUD, you can click on a visible object, and this will center the image on that object. Chat commands are available to point the telescope, including specifying right ascension and declination in decimal or hh:mm:ss dd:mm:ss. You can also specify any catalogue name or number, for example, M53.
There is a modifiable notecard called "Objects" that contains co-ordinates for all the Messier objects that are in the SDSS footprint. This is used to cycle random images every few hours while not wearing the HUD. You can add additional objects to this by simply editing and adding a new line.
Detailed instructions are included.

Awesome Telescope and Help
Awesome setup and outstanding help. Just set up the V4.1 set of Trust Telescope, Telescope, and Display with Blue’s help. Visit the Carl Sagan Observatory and check it out. Would love to get other databases connected too. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Triasm/213/220/36
