Permanently Mounted Scopes

Save your model, using a good, descriptive name, using the “Save As” menu. Upon completion of the training, Smart Mount is enabled and remains on until you choose “Off” from the Smart Mount Configuration menu.

Permanently Mounted Scopes

For permanently mounted telescopes, it is not necessary to have more than one model unless the weight and balance of auxiliary equipment introduces balance or flexure changes that significantly affect pointing. The best practice is to train the Smart Mount and then run a couple of sessions with Update enabled. Thereafter, simply leave Smart Mount On as the installation default.

Other Menus Options

Save As and Load

The Smart Mount system allows you to save several models you have created (see TRAINING on the previous page) using the Save As command. Choose which model will be the "Current Model” using the Load command.

Update

The Update mode allows you to update training for the current model you have enabled. You will sync on several stars as previously described, which will further refine the pointing of your telescope. Save your model after running in update mode, otherwise the update will be lost when the telescope is powered off.

On

Load a model from memory (see SAVE AS AND LOAD above) and then Select Smart On. When Smart Mount is "On," the telescope will use the currently loaded model to refine your telescope's pointing, but will not update the model (see SMART MOUNT UPDATE above). If Smart Mount was "On" when you last powered off your telescope, it will be "On" when you start the next session.

Off

When Smart Mount is "Off," the telescope will not use any model you have created to refine pointing accuracy.

Erase

The Erase command clears the Current Smart Mount table values to allow a new model to be created.

Delete

The Delete command allows you to delete any model from memory. To delete a model, just scroll through the names and select the model to you wish to delete and press ENTER.You will be asked to confirm your choice. Press ENTER again and it will be removed from memory.
