Chapter 4 AUTOMATIC GOTO SLEWING
The Go-To slewing in
CHART MODE
works in the same way as you did in
SCOPE MODE

Additionally, scrolling the star chart allows you to select any object as a target and
automatically slew your telescope to it. Here, the Great Nebula, M42 in Orion, the Hunter is
shown as a target.
Make sure the star chart is displayed in
CHART MODE
. If in
SCOPE MODE
, press the key
to switch over the screen to
CHART MODE
. The screen will be highlighted in blue at its top and
bottom portions.

Zooming in the star chart allows you to make slower movements of the star chart with the direction keys.
Place M42 within the target circles. Then, bring it to the center and press the key.
The dialog box will appear and confirm that you want Go-To slewing.
Note: The dialog box will not appear on the screen if the Go-To Message is set to off.
In this case, the Go-To slewing starts at once.
