Caution The telescope moves quickly when automatic slewing starts. Pay
attention to its range of motion. The telescope stops immediately when any of
the STARBOOK-S keys is pressed during automatic slewing. Press any key to
stop in emergency. To restart automatic slewing, reselect a reference point to
align the telescope.
(9) A beep indicates the completion of automatic slewing. Make sure that the telescope has
stopped its movement and the screen on the STARBOOK-S has changed to SCOPE MODE.
(10) For alignment, center Arcturus in the field of view of your telescope. Refer to Hint 5.
Center Arcturus in the field of view of the telescope's finder scope and then point the telescope so
that Arcturus is in the center of the field of view of the telescope's eyepiece by pressing the
keys. Refer to Hint 5 & Hint 6.
* Arcturus may move off the center on the screen as you move the telescope, but disregard this.
Hint 5 The Zoom+ and Zoom- keys are linked with the speed of the telescope. Zoom in on the
star chart with the Zoom+ key when you want to move the telescope slowly, and zoom it out with
the Zoom- key when you want to move the telescope quickly.
Hint 6 With a high power eyepiece, move the reference star into the exact center of the field of
view.
Careful use of the Zoom+ and Zoom- keys will enable you to make comfortable fine
adjustments.
(11) Press the Align key on the STARBOOK-S after centering the reference star Arcturus in the
field of view of the telescope.
* If "Confirm GOTO" (see page 33) is selected, a dialog box will pop up to let you confirm the
alignment.
Choose YES and press Select to enter.
