Celestron Ultima 8 - Control Buttons; Diamond Buttons; Main Menu

28
The hand control is quite simple. There are 4 buttons for the interface controls, 4 buttons for moving the telescope, and a
display screen. The interface is a list of 8 menus with each menu having several sub-menus.
Here is what each button on the hand control is for:
POWER
Turns the power of the hand control on and off. The “O” is the off position. When
the telescope is aligned and tracking the sky, the hand control can be turned off and on
and it will not affect the telescopes alignment. This feature can be used to save
battery life when leaving the telescope ON overnight.
BRIGHTNESS
There are 5 different brightness settings for the display screen. This button changes
the brightness of the display.
MENU
Returns the display to the main menu from anywhere in the software.
Control Buttons
ENTER
Used to enter into a menu or select an item from a list.
UP
Used to scroll through the list of menus or through a sub menu.
DOWN
Used to scroll through the list of menus or through a sub menu.
Diamond Buttons
These four buttons move the telescope. If in Slewing or Finder rates the telescope will move in the direction the arrows
are pointing. If the speeds are set at Center, 2X Sidereal, or Photo, the buttons cause the object in the eyepiece to move in
the direction the buttons are pointed. (This is assuming you are using a diagonal.)
