From here you can use the GoTo button to get a selection of other objects for observing. The SPEED
button will change the rate of speed of the motors when depressing one of the directional buttons.
MENU will bring up a menu of functions that can be performed from the Hand Controller.
As you use the GoTo function to move to different objects and find the objects are not within the
telescope view you can quickly do an on the fly alignment. At any object that you have slewed to use
the directional buttons to center the object. Then press MENU, then ALIGN, then Alignment. This will
add to the correction database and increase the accuracy of your next GoTo.
With the Gemini 2 you will never "push" the mount to an object you will always use the motors. That
is how the Gemini knows its location. But if you should accidentally move the mount without the
motors you can easily correct the problem and allow the Gemini 2 to learn its new location. Observe a
known object in the sky. Bring up the Catalog of Objects and GoTo that object. When the mount
finishes slewing to the object then use the directional buttons to bring the object into the center of
view. Now all you need to do is press MENU then ALIGN then Synchronize. Now your mount and
Gemini 2 are back in Sync.
After you press
Alignment you will be
brought back to the Main
Screen. Your Gemini 2 is
now ready for an evening
of observing.
