You may change the slewing and positioning speed of your Ultima 2000. There are 5 different settings:
• SLEW
10 degrees per second High Speed Slewing, default setting. (Not shown on the display unless
BTN SLEW is turned to ON under the SETUP menu.)
• FINDER
2 degrees per second Slow Speed Slewing, used for fine positioning.
• CENTER
6 times sidereal Rate Speed used for centering an object in the eyepiece.
• 2 X SDRL
2 times sidereal Rate Guide speed, used for fine centering or astrophotography.
• PHOTO

To change the slewing rate, go to the SPEED sub-menu under the SETUP menu. When you press ENTER at the SPEED
sub-menu, the first letter of the current speed rate will blink. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the current setting.
