Instruction Manual

Setup Menu

The Setup menu’s primary functions are for setting up telescope alignment.

However, there are numerous other features available within the Setup menu,

including:

Date changes the date used by the handbox. This function is useful to check

events in the past or future. For example, set the Date menu for a day three

months in the future. Then check the „Select Item: Event“ menu for the Sunset

time on that date. See

EVENT MENU, page 20.

Time changes the time entered into the handbox. Setting the correct time is criti-

cal for the handbox to properly calculate locations and events. Time may be set

to 24-hour mode (military time) by selecting the „blank“ option (i.e., no option is

displayed) which follows the „AM“ and „PM“ options.

Daylight Saving is used to enable or disable Daylight Savings time.

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

various areas of the world. Check local time to verify.

Telescope accesses several options, including:

• Telescope Model: Allows you to select the telescope model connected to

the handbox.

• Focal Length: Displays the focal length of the selected telescope.

• Az/R.A. Ratio and Alt/Dec. Ratio: The Az (Azimuth) or the R.A. (Right

Ascension) ratio and Alt (Altitude) or Dec. (Declination) ratio refers to the

gears of the telescope‘s motors. Do not alter these numbers.

• Az/R.A. Percent: This option allows you to change the AZ (azimuth) or R.A.

(right ascension) backlash, i.e., the way the Arrow keys move the telescope

along the azimuth or R.A. axes. If you enter a value near 100, the telescope

tube responds more quickly (it responds immediately at 100%) as you hold

down an Arrow key and also slews (moves) the tube more quickly. If you

enter a value near 0, it takes longer for the tube to respond as you hold down

an Arrow key and also slews the tube more slowly. Experiment with this

option. Try changing the percent value until you get a „feel“ for the Arrow

keys that is comfortable for you.

•

 Alt/Dec. Percent: The option operates identical to the Az/R.A. Percent

option (see above), but allows you to change the altitude or declination

backlash, i.e., the way the telescope responds to the Arrow keys when mov-

ing along the altitude or declination axes.

• Train Drive: Trains the Altitude/Declination and Azimuth/R.A. motors to

locate objects with more precision.

• Tracking Rate: Changes the speed at which the telescope tracks targets in

the sky.

a. Sidereal: The default tracking setting for the handbox; sidereal rate is

the standard rate at which stars move from East to West across the sky

due to the rotation of the Earth.

Observing Considerations

•Trytopickanobservingsiteawayfromstreetandhouselightsandcarhead-

lights. While this is not always possible, the darker the site, the better.

•Giveyoureyesabouttenminutestoadjusttothedarknessbeforeobserving.

Give your eyes a rest from observing every ten or fifteen minutes to relieve

eyestrain.

•Trynottouseastandardflashlight.AlotofobserversuseredLEDflashlights

or tape red cellophane over their flashlights to use for setup and map reading

so they don’t have to continually readjust their eyes to the darkness. Be careful

not to shine bright lights if there are other observers in the area. Do not shine

a flashlight into the telescope while someone is observing!

•Dresswarmly.Itgetschillywhenyou’resittingforprolongedperiods.

•Practice setting up your equipment during the day or in a lighted area to

become familiar with it before going to a dark site.

•

Know your observing site. If you’re going to try out an unfamiliar site, check it out

in the daylight for possible obstructions and pitfalls.
