[. . . ] Once Polar Align is complete, you must re-align your telescope again using any of the alignment methods described earlier. With the telescope set up and roughly positioned towards Polaris, align the mount using the Auto Align or Auto Three Star method. Select Polar Align from the Utilities menu and press Enter. FACTORY SETTING PRESS UNDO PRESS "0" 2. Based on your current alignment, the telescope will slew to where it thinks Polaris VERSION GET ALT-AZ GOTO ATL-AZ HIBERNATE TURN ON/OFF GPS 26 should be. Use the equatorial head latitude and azimuth adjustments to place Polaris in the center of the eyepiece. Once Polaris is centered in the eyepiece press ENTER; the polar axis should then be pointed towards the North Celestial Pole. Light Control ­ This feature allows you to turn off both the red key pad light and LCD display for daytime use to conserve power and to help preserve your night vision. Factory Settings ­ Returns the Advanced GT hand control to its original factory settings. Parameters such as backlash compensation values, initial date and time, longitude/latitude along with slew and filter limits will be reset. However, stored parameters such as user defined objects will remain saved even when Factory Settings is selected. The hand control will ask you to press the "0" key before returning to the factory default setting. Version - Selecting this option will allow you to see the current version number of the hand control, motor control and GPS software (if using optional CN-16 GPS accessory). For the motor control, the hand control will display two sets of numbers; the first numbers are for azimuth and the second set are for altitude. On the second line of the LCD, the GPS and serial bus versions are displayed. Get Alt-Az - Displays the relative altitude and azimuth for the current position of the telescope. Goto Alt-Az - Allows you to enter a specific altitude and azimuth position and slew to it. Hibernate - Hibernate allows the telescope to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on. This not only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long periods of time. Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode. After pressing Enter you have the option of scrolling through the time/site information to confirm the current setting. Press ENTER to wake up the telescope. Pressing UNDO at the Wake Up screen allows you to explore many of the features of the hand control without waking the telescope up from hibernate mode. To wake up the telescope after UNDO has been pressed, select Hibernate from the Utility menu and press ENTER. Do not use the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode. Helpful Hint Turn On/Off GPS - If using your Advanced GT telescope with the optional CN-16 GPS accessory (see Optional Accessories section of the manual), you will need to turn the GPS on the first time you use the accessory. If you want to use the telescope's database to find the coordinates of a celestial object for a future or past dates you would need to turn the GPS off in order to manually enter a time other than the present. 27 ADVANCED GT MENU TRACKING MODE EQ NORTH EQ SOUTH OFF RATE SIDEREAL SOLAR LUNAR VIEW TIME-SITE SCOPE SETUP SETUP TIME-SITE ANTI-BACKLASH FILTER LIMITS DIRECTION BUTTONS GOTO APPROACH AUTOGUIDE RATE AZIMUTH LIMITS EAST/WEST FILTERING UTILITIES CALIBRATE GOTO HOME POSITION POLAR ALIGN LIGHT CONTROL FACTORY SETTING VERSION GET ALT-AZ GOTO ALT-AZ HIBERNATE TURN ON/OFF GPS USER OBJECTS GOTO SKY OBJ SAVE SKY OBJ ENTER RA & DEC SAVE LAND OBJ GOTO LAND OBJ GET RA-DEC GOTO RA-DEC IDENTIFY SELECT CATALOG PRECISE GOTO GOTO TYPE ALIGNMENT START-UP PROCUDURE SET TO INDEX ENTER TIME DLS/ST TIME ZONE ENTER DATE- MM/DD/YY ENTER LONG/LAT AUTO ALIGN CENTER STAR 1 CENTER STAR 2 CENTER STAR 3 LIST NAMED STAR NAMED OBJECT ASTERISM TOUR VARIABLE STAR DOUBLE STAR CCD OBJECTS ABELL IC CATALOG CALDWELL MESSIER NGC SAO SOLAR SYSTEM CONSTELLATION AUTO THREE-STAR ALIGN SELECT STAR 1 CENTER STAR 1 SELECT STAR 2 CENTER STAR 2 SELECT STAR 3 CENTER STAR 3 LAST ALIGNMENT QUICK-ALIGN 28 A telescope is an instrument that collects and focuses light. Developed in the early 1600s, the refractor is the oldest telescope design.
