- Press the Align key on the STAR BOOK after centering the reference star Vega in the field
of view of the telescope.
- If "Confirm GOTO" (see page xx) is selected, a dialog box will pop up to let you confirm the
alignment. Choose YES and press Select to enter.
- A one point alignment is completed. The reference star Vega comes to the center of the
target on the screen of SCOPE MODE.
(8) Press the Chart key and change the screen to CHART MODE to make the second and
additional alignments. Select the next reference object from the database and repeat
steps (1) to (8).
Zoom the star chart out with the Zoom- key to find the next reference object over a large
area of the sky.
Hint 12 The alignment system is designed to improve pointing accuracy by setting two
reference points as a pair alignment. Choosing a second reference point within 90 degrees
in azimuth of the first will increase the pointing accuracy in the same area of the sky.
However, choosing reference points within 10 degrees of each other will produce a "beep
warning and you will need to select reference points separated by greater than 10 degrees
to perform the alignment correctly.
