1. Go to Park / Mount Opt. Menu. (Main Menu → 2=Setup → 4=Park / Mount Opt.)
2. Choose 5=Calibrate menu. You have two choices. Refer to the appropriate sections in the Normal Startup Sequence
section.
a) 1=N Polar Calibrate
b) 2=2 Star Calibrate
What if I lose my calibration?
Assuming that the mount itself did not move and you are polar-aligned, you can use the sync function as described under
Advanced Features later in the manual. This is the quickest and easiest method.
Alternatively, go to calibrate Menu as described above and follow the “N Polar Calibrate” or “2-Star Calibrate” procedure.
Since you will already be polar aligned and your location has been selected, you are simply telling the mount where it is
pointing. No further adjustments should be needed. Note: do not use the solar system objects in these routines since the
R.A./Dec. positions change with time.
