Operation of the Tarsier One powered, we'll be presented with the main screen: Tarsier P: 0 … where we can see the actual position of the motor (“0”). If T: +20 C º we have installed the optional temperature sensor, the P: 0 current temp.

So far, we can already operate our Tarsier; no configuration is needed in many cases, and our “focusing experience” has already improved compared to a fully manual operation. Take make the most of the Tarsier, however, it is recommended to keep reading. From the MENU, we will access quite a few options: Saved points ...

Detailed description of options Saved points Access to the list of saved positions; use the direction keys to navigate, OK to perform a goto to the displayed point, long press of OK to delete the point. The points with stored temperature reading will be used for the temperature compensation algorithm.

A few final notes a) About focuser position when storing the telescope If you want your “goto” points, or your absolute temperature tracking parameters (that is, when you select from “saved point”) to work between sessions, then it is important that the Tarsier “memorizes”...
