Instruction Manual

Tip:

The GO TO key also

allows you to perform a

„spiral search.“ A spiral

search is useful when the

telescope slews to an

object, but that object is

not visible in the eyepiece

after the telescope finishes

its search. (This some-

times occurs during an

alignment procedure.)

Press GO TO when the

telescope stops slewing.

The telescope begins to

move in a spiral pattern

at a very slow speed (you

may change the slew

speed if you wish—see

SLEW SPEEDS, page 9)

around the search area.

Look through the eyepiece

and when the object does

become visible, press

MODE to stop the spiral

search. Then use the

Arrow keys to center the

object.

Note: Three other align-

ment methods, One-Star,

Two-Star and Three-Star

Polar alignment, are

available as options in the

„Setup: Align“ menu. See

page 30 and page 31 for

more information.

locks (1 and 17, Fig. 1d) and point the telescope at an object. Then re-tighten

the locks. Press ENTER when the telescope is pointing at the desired ter-

restrial object.

16. „Center reference object“ displays. Center your target object using the Arrow

keys. When centered, press ENTER.

17. The telescope slews and „Press

until it is centered“ displays. Press the Up

Arrow key until the target is centered again. Then press ENTER.

18. The telescope slews and „Press V until it is centered“ displays. Press the

Down Arrow key until the target is centered again. Then press ENTER. „Train

Drive: Alt/Dec Train“ displays again. You have now completed this proce-

dure. Continue onto the next procedure, EASY ALIGNMENT.

Easy Alignment

After completing the „Train the Drive“ procedure, align your telescope using the

handbox. The fastest and easiest way to start observing with Go To capabilities

is to align your telescope using the Easy Alignment.

1. Keep pressing MODE until „Select Item: Setup“ is displayed. Press ENTER.

2. „Setup: Align“ displays. Press ENTER. „Align: Easy“ displays. Press

ENTER.

3. „German North“ displays and a scrolling message prompts you to set

your telescope in the polar home position. See SETTING THE POLAR HOME

POSITION, page 10, for a description of this procedure. Press ENTER after

you finish the procedure.

4. The handbox then chooses two stars from its database to align upon. When

the telescope slews to the star for alignment, it may not appear in the field

of view in the eyepiece. Use the Arrow keys to move the telescope until the

star is visible and centered in the eyepiece. The alignment star should be

easily recognized and be the brightest star in the area of the sky where the

telescope is pointing. When the star is centered, press ENTER. Repeat the

procedure for the second alignment star.

Note: The handbox locates alignment stars based on the date, time,

and location entered. The alignment stars may change from night to

night. All that is required is for the observer to center the selected star

in the eyepiece when prompted.

Go To Saturn

After performing the Train the Drive and the Easy Alignment procedures, the

motor drive begins operating and the telescope is aligned for a night of viewing.

Objects in the eyepiece should maintain (i.e., track) their position even though the

Earth is rotating beneath the stars.

Important Note: Once aligned, only use the menus or Arrow keys to

move the telescope. Do not loosen the telescope locks, or move the

base manually, or alignment will be lost.

This exercise demonstrates how to select an object for viewing from the hand-

box’s database, i.e., Saturn. Note that Saturn is not visible all year long and it

may be necessary for you to choose another object from handbox‘s database.

However, the procedure will be identical to the one used for observing Saturn.

1. After the telescope is aligned, “Select Item: Object” displays. Press ENTER.

If “Select Item: Object” is not currently displayed, press MODE repeatedly

until it displays, then press ENTER.

2. “Object: Solar System” displays. Press ENTER.

3. “Solar System: Mercury” displays. Use the Scroll Down key until “Solar

System: Saturn” displays.

4. Press ENTER. “Calculating” displays. Then “Saturn” and a set of coordinates

displays. Saturn’s (and other planets’) coordinates change throughout the

year.

5. Press GO TO. “Saturn: Slewing...” displays and the telescope slews until

it finds Saturn. You may need to use the Arrow keys to center Saturn pre-

cisely in the eyepiece. The handbox then automatically slews (moves) the

telescope so that it tracks Saturn (or whatever other object you may have

chosen). Saturn remains centered in the eyepiece.
