Meridian Treatment

Press ENTER. A R.A. anti-backlash screen will display:

R.A. anti-backlash:

0000 steps

One step equals to 0.14 arc second.

To adjust steps move the cursor to each digit and use the number keys to input number directly. Press ENTER – “DEC anti-backlash” will display:

DEC anti-backlash:

0000 steps

One step equals to 0.14 arc second.

Move the cursor to each digit and use the number keys to set the anti-backlash. Press ENTER to go back the previous screen. Press BACK button to go back to main menu.

While viewing an object in the eyepiece, observe the responsiveness of each of the four arrow buttons. Note which directions you see a pause in the star movement after the button has been pressed. Working one axis at a time, adjust the backlash settings high enough to cause immediate movement without resulting in a pronounced jump when pressing or releasing the button. The hand controller will remember these values and use them each time it is turned on until they are changed.

5.3.4. Meridian Treatment

This function tells mount what to do when it tracks across the meridian. There are three options. Stop Tracking will stop the mount when it passes the meridian. Telescope Flip will flip the telescope and continuous to track the object. The third option is Continue to Track. In this case, the mount will keep tracking and the OTA could hit the tripod leg if the mount is not monitored.

5.3.5. Track Below Horizon

This function allows mount to keep tracking an object even it is below horizon but still can be seen from an elevated observation site, such as at a hill. The power on default is at OFF state. One can turn it on when needed.

5.3.6. Set Polar Light

Use this function to adjust the light intensity of ZEQ25GT illuminated polar scope. If you have an illuminated-reticule eyepiece and has the same socket size, you may use this option to adjust its light intensity.

5.3.7. Firmware Information

This option will display firmware version information of hand controller, R.A. control board and DEC control board.

5.3.8. GPS Status

Check GPS status. After the GPS connected to satellites, the status will changed to OK.
