4.5. Star Identifying Function
The 8409 hand controller has a star identifying function. After Polar Alignment and Set Up Time
and Site, slew the telescope to an bright star, manually or using GOTO. Press ? button to identify the star
name telescope is pointing to, as well as nearby bright stars if there are any.
4.6. Power-Down Memorization
The CEM26 mount can memorize its R.A. and DEC positions if the mount power is lost during
operation, even during high speed slewing. After the power is back, just do a Select and Slew to the same
star when the power is lost. The mount will continue to track the star.
4.7. Turn Off the Mount
When you have finished your observation, simply turn the mount power off and disassemble the
mount and tripod.
If the mount is set up on a pier or inside an observatory, it is recommended that you return the
mount to the Zero Position or park the telescope. This will ensure that there is no need for you to perform
the initial setup again when you power on the mount subsequently so long as the mount has not been
moved from the parked position.
4.8. Putting the Mount Back into the Package
Lock the RA axle with the Allen wrench. Disengage the gear system for transportation.
