Los Angeles: 480 Mins. “behind” UT

Rome: 60 Mins. “ahead” of UT

Sydney: 600 Mins. “ahead” of UT

Press ENTER when finished.

The mount is now ready to find (GOTO) and track objects.

Step 14. Select and Slew to an object

Press Menu button.

Scroll to “Select and Slew”

Press ENTER.

Step 15.

Select a category (ex. “Planets, Sun, Moon”) by scrolling with the arrow keys.

Press ENTER.

Then select an object (ex. “Moon”) by scrolling with the arrow keys. Press ENTER.

The telescope will automatically slew to the object and lock on. It will automatically begin to track once it locks on to the object.

Step 16. Sync to Target (Use this to center and synchronize the object selected in Step 15).

Press MENU. Scroll to “Sync. To Target”. Press ENTER. Next use the arrow keys (▲▼◄►) to center the object in the eyepiece. Then press ENTER again to synchronize the object with the memory.

To slew to other objects simply repeat steps 14 and 15. You do not need to repeat step 16 except for adjustments as needed.

(Refer to the full online manual for 1-star and 2-star alignments. Sync to Target is the same as 1-star Alignment except that you choose the object to align to.)
