[TIPS: All time zones in N. America are “UTC -XXX
minutes”. Latitude and longitude coordinates can be
obtained from GPS-equipped devices (navigator,
phone), or from internet and entered manually, in
case GPS cannot receive enough satellites signals or
GPS malfunctions. “W/E” = western/eastern
hemisphere; “N/S” = northern/southern hemisphere.
Use arrow and number keys to enter location and
time information.]
12. Set Zero Position: The Set Zero Position command
registers the current position as zero position. So
before registering, the mount should be physically set
at Zero Position either manually or slewed by hand
controller. The Zero Position is defined as the
telescope being on top of the mount head and
pointing to North Pole, with CW shaft pointing to the
ground. To register, press MENU => Zero Position =>
Set Zero Position. Press ENTER to confirm. One can
also use MENU => Zero Position => Search Zero
Position to set the zero Position.
13. One Star Alignment: Perform One Star Align to
correct the Zero Position discrepancy and improve
GOTO accuracy. Refer to User’s Manual for more
details about improving GOTO accuracy.
14. Go to an Object: The mount is now ready for GOTO
and tracking targets. Press MENU, select and ENTER
Select and Slew. Select a category (e.g., Solar
System), then select an object of interest (e.g.,
Moon). Press ENTER and the telescope will slew to
the object and automatically start tracking.
15. Sync to Target: If the object is not in the center of
the eyepiece, use this function to center and
synchronize the object to improve local GOTO
accuracy. Press MENU and select and ENTER Sync to
Target. Follow the on-screen instruction to perform
the sync.
[TIP: After slewing to an object, a list of nearby bright
object(s) can be displayed by pressing the ? button.]
16. Put the mount back into the package/carrying case:
It is recommended to return the mount to Zero
Position at the end of the observing session. Lay the
mount into the carrying case. Disengage the gear
system for transportation.
