Definition:

Initialization is a

procedure that makes sure

that Autostar operates

correctly. When you first

use Autostar, it doesn't yet

know where the observa-

tion location site is or the

time or date of the

observation session.

During the

alignment

procedure, you will enter

time, date and observing

location

Autostar Uses this

information to precisely

calculate the location of

celestial objects (such as

stars and planets) and to

move your telescope

correctly for various

operations.

Tip:

When multiple choices are

available within an Autostar

Menu option, the current

option is usually displayed

first and highlighted by a

right pointing arrow (>).

Initializing Autostar

This section describes how to initialize Autostar. Perform this procedure the first time

you use Autostar or after performing a Reset (see

RESET, page 30). Autostar will ask

you to enter the current time and date and to choose your observing location and your

telescope’s model number from the list it displays.

1. Tighten the vertical and horizontal locks (

6 and 9, Fig. 1) if necessary.

2. Make sure that Autostar is connected to the HBX port (

C, Fig. 2) of the

telescope’s computer control panel.

3. Flip the telescope power switch (

A, Fig. 2) to the ON position.

The Autostar screen displays a copyright message, followed by a short beep.

Then Autostar takes a few moments to start up the system.

4. A message displays that warns not to look at the Sun. At the end of this message,

press the key prompted by Autostar to signify that the message has been read

and understood.

5. The Getting Started menu displays a scrolling message. Press ENTER (

2, Fig.

) to bypass the Help tutorial and continue with initialization.

6. Autostar then requests the current date. Use the Number keys (

6, Fig. 4) to enter

the digits for the date. Use the Arrow keys (

5, Fig. 4) to move back and forth from

one number to the next in the day display. Next, use the Right Arrow key to move

to the month position. Use the Scroll keys (

7, Fig. 4) to cycle through the list of

months.

When the

current month is displayed, use the Right Arrow to move to the year

position. Use the Number keys to enter all four digits of the current year. Press

ENTER when the entire date has been entered.

7. Autostar then requests the current time. Use the Number keys to enter the time.

(Use a "0" for the first digit if it is less than 10.

) Use the Arrow keys to move from

one number to the next. Press one of the Arrow keys to scroll to "AM" or "PM." If

you select the "blank" choice that follows "AM" and "PM," the clock displays time

in a 24-hour (military time) format. Press ENTER to start the clock.

8. Autostar then requests the status of Daylight Savings Time. Press a Scroll key to

toggle between the YES/NO settings. Select the desired setting by pressing

ENTER when the correct setting displays.

Note: Daylight Savings Time may be referred to by a different name in

various areas of the world.

9. Autostar then requests the country or state (listed alphabetically) of the

observing site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the database of countries,

states and provinces. Press ENTER when the correct location displays.

10. Autostar then requests the city (listed alphabetically) closest to the observing

site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the database of cities. Press ENTER

when the closest city displays.

11. Autostar then requests the telescope model number. Use the Scroll keys to cycle

through the database of models. Press ENTER when your model number dis-

plays.

12. System initialization is complete and the screen reads "Setup: Align."

Easy (Two-Star) Align

The fastest and easiest way to locate celestial objects is to use the alt/az Easy Align.

Autostar is in the alt/az mode when you first power it on, so you do not need to select

this mode, unless you have changed this setting in the Telescope/Mount menu. If you

wish to align your telescope in the equatorial (polar) mode, see

EQUATORIAL

ALIGNMENT, page 51.

Autostar automatically picks two stars from its database for the Easy Align procedure.

During this procedure, Autostar moves the telescope to a first alignment star and the

user is asked to center the star in the eyepiece. The process is then repeated with a

second star to complete the alignment.

Important Note:

Autostar requests the

Country/State, City and

Telescope Model

information

only the first

time Autostar is activated.

Subsequently, Autostar

uses the location and

model number you have

chosen.

If you wish to change this

information, use the

"Telescope Model" and

"Site" options in the Setup

menu. See pages 28, 29

and 31 for more informa-

tion.
