MENUS AND MENU OPTIONS
Object Menu
Almost all observing with Autostar is performed using the Object menu category. (NOTE:
Exceptions include Guided Tour and Landmark Survey.
)
See GO TO SATURN, page 19, for an
example of observing using the Object menu. Also see
USING THE GUIDED TOUR, page 19.
Many Autostar menu categories contain databases. An Autostar database is a list of viewable
objects, such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, and so forth. When one of these objects is
selected from a database, Autostar moves your telescope (if properly aligned) and points it at
the selected object.
The Object Menu options include:
Solar System is a database of the eight planets (Earth is not included) in order out from the
Sun, followed by the Moon, asteroids, and comets.
Constellation is a database of all 88 Northern and Southern Hemisphere constellations. When
this menu option is chosen and a constellation name appears on the first line of the screen,
press GO TO once to change the second line to the name of the brightest star in the constel-
lation. Press GO TO a second time to slew the telescope to that star. Use the Scroll keys to
cycle through the list of stars in the constellation, from brightest to dimmest.
Deep Sky is a database of objects outside our Solar System such as nebulae, star clusters,
galaxies, and quasars.
Star is a database of stars listed in different categories such as named, double, variable, or
nearby.
Satellite is a database of Earth-orbiting objects such as the International Space Station, the
Hubble Space Telescope, Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and geosynchronous
orbit satellites.
User Objects allows the user to define and store in memory deep-sky objects of specific inter-
est that are not currently in the Autostar database. See "Appendix B" for more information.
