The more stars you use for the alignment the higher the slewing preci-
sion of your telescope will be.
One-Star Alignment:
Step 2:
After you select this option, you will be prompted to select a
target star. The software will select a star that is very visible in the night
sky. If you happen to know of a star you can see with the naked eye,
you can choose it by pressing the up and down arrow keys and then
selecting it with the centre key (5). In most cases, you will want to select
the first option presented to you. Do so by pressing the centre key (5).
Step 3: The telescope will now slew to that star and will prompt you
to centre it in the field of view, which you can do by using the arrow
keys. The star you're focusing on is the brightest star in the region your
telescope is pointing at. When the star is centred, confirm the position
with the centre key (5). The telescope is now aligned.
Two- and Three-Star Alignment:
The procedure is similar to one-star alignment. The only difference is
that you'll have to repeat steps 2 and 3 twice or thrice depending on
the type of alignment you've chosen.
Note: If you have aligned the telescope, don’t move it manually. Use
the arrow keys on the handbox to make adjustments. If you do move
it manually or change the tripod orientation, the telescope has to be
realigned.
5. Further Adjustment:
Target Sync:
With this method, you can further improve the alignment of the tel-
escope. After slewing to a star target you know, you can centre the
object precisely in the field of view. Press the centre key (5) and select
'Telescope Align', then 'Target Sync'. The telescope will align to that
target and have more precise positioning for further targets you want
to observe.
Backlash Correction:
You can improve the precision of the telescope by training the back-
lash correction of the axis. This must be done separately for each axis
and is not necessary for most cases.
Simply go to the main menu by pressing the centre key (5) and select
'Telescope Align' and then 'RA BKlash Corr.' to adjust the right ascen-
sion axis (horizontal axis) or 'DEC BKlash Corr.' to adjust the declina-
tion axis (vertical axis). Then follow the on-screen instructions.

Part IV – Observation
After aligning the telescope, the motors in the mount will begin to move
the telescope so that the Earth’s rotation is compensated for and the
objects stay in the field of view of the telescope.
Note: If you have aligned the telescope, don’t move it manually. Use
the arrow keys on the handbox to make adjustments. If you do move
it manually or change the tripod position, the telescope has to be
realigned.
Once you have aligned the telescope, you can slew to every object in
the night sky. This is done by pressing the centre key (5) on the hand-
box and selecting the 'Navigation' option from the menu.
Select the object catalogue you prefer from the menu by using the
arrow keys. Press the centre key (5) to confirm your selection.
When you select an object catalogue, the first object of the catalogue
will be displayed. You can change the currently displayed object by
pressing the up and down arrow keys.
Select the object you want to view with the telescope by pressing the
centre key (5). The telescope will then slew to that position.
Example: Let’s observe Jupiter.
Jupiter is visible in different parts of the world at different times depend-
ing on location, time of year and local conditions.
If it is visible from your location and the telescope is aligned, you can
navigate to Jupiter by following these steps. Press the centre key
(5) on your handbox and select the 'Navigation' option. Move the
selection bar with the arrow keys, then press the centre key (5) for
confirmation.
