Figure 70: The Exercise Mount settings window on the Utilities tab.
For example, you may wish to exercise the mount after the gears have been re-lubricated, or after installing
through the mount cabling to make sure there are no stalling issues when the mount slews from slew limit to slew
limit in both axes and after installing a replacement worm block to repair a damaged worm.
• The exercise process slews both mount axes from limit to limit at the current Slew Rate, specified as a
percentage of the maximum slew rate.
• The telescope cross hairs displayed on the Sky Chart will not follow the position of the telescope during
the exercise process.
