Training the Azimuth and Elevation Drives
CALIBRATE: Training the Drive
Perform this procedure if you are
experiencing any pointing accuracy
problems.
NOTE: Use a terrestrial object, such as a
telephone pole or lamp post, to train the
drive. Complete this exercise once every 3 to
6 months. Take care not to point the
telescope to or close to the Sun.
Calibrate allows you to precisely tune
several aspects of your telescope for peak
performance. Calibration options include:
• Azimuth Drive allows you train your
azimuth drive for peak pointing accuracy.
• Elevation Drive allows you train your
elevation drive for peak pointing accuracy.
• Finder Centre recomputes the centre of the
ECLIPS camera.
