5.4.2. Set Key Beep
Turn the key beep on/off.
5.4.3. Set Azi Work Mode
This function will set the mount azimuth mode while performing GOTO. There are two modes for
selection:
The “AZI +/- 200 degree” will rotate the mount between -200º and +200º in azimuth direction to
avoid AC/DC power line wrapping. However, the mount may take a longer path to slew to an
object. The “AZI free running mode” will take a shortest path while rotating along the azimuth
direction, which is best for battery operation. The default setting is “AZI +/- 200 degree” mode.
5.4.4. Reset All
Reset all settings to factory default data.
5.5. Align
This function is used to align the telescope to known stars to
This function is used to align a telescope mount using known stars to improve its GOTO and
tracking accuracy. Before star alignment, please make sure the mount is well leveled and at its
Park Position. In addition to “Solarsys Align,” the system also provides “One Star Align” and
“Two Star Align”. Either one can be selected for telescope alignment.
5.5.1. Solarsys Align
Press “MENU”, scroll down the menu and select “Align”. Press ENTER and select “Solarsys
Align”. Select any one of the listed solar system object as your alignment target, such as Moon.
Press ENTER. If the Moon is above the horizon, the telescope will auto slew to it. If the Moon is
not in the center of you eyepiece, use or key to center the object in your eyepiece.
Press SPEED button to change the slew speed if needed. Then press ENTER to complete the
alignment.
