Keepsake Hints

How do I set the telescope to different constellations?

  • 1 of 8: To set the telescope to a constellation, you will need to enter numbered coordinates into the telescope by using the strange circular ring of numbers.
  • 2 of 8: The coordinates you can enter into the telescope are located just to the left of the ring of numbers (in the 4x4 grid).
  • 3 of 8: There are eight sets of numbers you can enter that will direct the telescope to a constellation.
  • 4 of 8: The numbers can be read either vertically or horizontally.  Therefore, the row across the top (24, 62, 36, 11) and the column on the left (24, 78, 51, 87) are both valid telescope settings.
  • 5 of 8: The goal is to enter the four coordinate numbers into the ring of numbers in such a way that one quadrant of the ring of numbers contains all four coordinate numbers.  Once the four numbers are together in the same quadrant, you will need to show the telescope which quadrant of numbers to use by rotating the golden sphere (located outside the circles of numbers) until it is resting next to the set of four coordinate numbers.
  • 6 of 8: Entering the numbers into the circle of numbers can be a bit tricky.  All the numbers are already displayed on the rings -- what you will need to do is rearrange the numbers until the correct group of four are together.  Clicking on each of the rings will move the numbers -- but each ring moves the numbers in a different way.
  • 7 of 8: Clicking on the outer ring will move all the numbers resting in the outer ring clockwise.  Clicking on the second ring will move the vertical column of numbers down one (and the one at the bottom will move up to the top position).  Clicking on the third ring will rotate all numbers located in the third row counter-clockwise.  And finally, clicking on the inner ring will slide all the horizontal numbers one space to the right (and the number on the far right will move all the way to the left).
  • 8 of 8: When you have entered one set of coordinate numbers, be sure to rotate the small golden sphere (located outside the circle of numbers) so that the telescope knows which group of numbers to use.  Look through the telescope.  If you have entered a valid set of coordinates, you should see a constellation.
