Step 5. Plug in hand controller and AC adaptor.

 

 

 

 

Plug hand controller into either one of the two HBX ports on

 

 

 

 

the mount. Next plug in AC adaptor. (Or use batteries—see

 

 

 

 

step 3). Turn on power (the red light should go on).

 

 

 

 

At this point you can begin observing manually. Use the 4

 

 

 

 

Arrow keys (▲▼◄►) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left,

 

 

 

 

and Right. Use the SPEED key to change the slew rate

 

 

 

 

from the slowest (2X) to the fastest (MAX).

 

Plug in AC

The other HBX is reserved for accessories, such as

 

adaptor

external GPS module, electronic focuser or laser pointer.

Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may

 

 

 

 

need to turn the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your

 

 

 

 

telescope for the first time. Always start observing using a

Focus knob

low power eyepiece (such as a 25mm eyepiece) to get a

 

 

 

 

nice wide field of view. Later you can change to high power

 

 

 

 

if so desired. Higher powered eyepieces have a much

 

 

 

 

narrower field of view. So it’s more difficult to initially locate

 

 

 

 

objects using higher powered eyepieces.

 

 

For 114mm Newtonian (#8503) ……

 

Point toward open

Attach the red dot finder scope to the

telescope tube (#1):

First remove the two washers on the tube. Then place the

securely. The finder scope should face towards the open

 

 

 

end of the tube (see arrow in diagram).

 

 

 

 

Turn on the beam using the switch on the side. (note: you

 

 

 

 

may need to remove the plastic insulation placed next to
