Version; Get Axis Position; Goto Axis Position; Hibernate - Celestron 80LCM Manual

Version

Selecting this option will allow you to see the current version number of the hand control and motor control software The first set of numbers
indicate the hand control software version For the motor control, the hand control will display two sets of numbers; the first numbers are for
azimuth and the second set are for altitude

Get Axis Position

Displays the relative altitude and azimuth for the current position of the telescope

GoTo Axis Position

Allows you to enter a specific altitude and azimuth position and slew to it

Hibernate

Hibernate allows the LCM to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on This not only saves power, but is
ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long periods of time To place your
telescope in Hibernate mode:
1 . Select Hibernate from the Utility Menu
2 . Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER
3 . Power off the telescope Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode
Once the telescope is powered on again, the display will read Wake Up After pressing ENTER, you have the option of scrolling through the
time/site information to confirm the current setting Press ENTER to wake up the telescope
Pressing UNDO at the Wake Up screen allows you to explore many of the features of the hand control without waking the telescope up from
hibernate mode To wake up the telescope after UNDO has been pressed, select Hibernate from the Utility menu and press ENTER Do not
use the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode

Sun Menu

For safety purposes the Sun will not be displayed as a database object unless it is first enabled The enable the Sun, go to the Sun Menu
and press ENTER The Sun will now be displayed in the Planets catalog and can be used as an alignment object when using the Solar
System Alignment method To remove the Sun from displaying on the hand control, once again select the Sun Menu from the Utilities Menu
and press ENTER

Calibrate GoTo

GoTo calibration is a useful tool when attaching heavy visual or photographic accessories to the telescope GoTo calibration calculates the
amount of distance and time it takes for the mount to complete its final slow GoTo when slewing to an object Changing the balance of the
telescope can prolong the time it takes to complete the final slew GoTo Calibration takes into account any slight imbalances and changes the
final GoTo distance to compensate

Set Mount Position

The Set Mount Position menu can be used to recover an alignment in cases where the telescope or tripod has been manually moved For
instance, you might use this feature if you needed to adjust the level of the tripod by raising or lowering the tripod legs After the mount has
been moved, simply slew to a bright star and center it up in the eyepiece, then select "Set Mount Position" from the Utilities menu Since the
telescope has been moved, the pointing accuracy will be diminished But now you can slew to a new set of alignment stars and replace any
of the original alignment stars with the new stars This will help you to avoid having to start the alignment process over from the beginning
