errors. Pressing ESC will immediately stop the recording and exit from the PEC Training function.

Note: Guiding actions are recorded even when the PEC train- ing is stopped midway. The PEC + sidereal tracking will not be accurate until a full cycle of the PEC Training is performed.

The Atlas EQ-G will emit a “beep” sound and display “Record completed” when the training time is up. Press any button to exit from the PEC Training upon completion.

PEC tracking can be activated under the Setup menu or by pressing the Setup button when needed. In the Setup menu, choose “Set Tracking”, then “PEC + Sidereal”. The Atlas EQ-G will play back the corrections you made during the PEC train- ing cycle and start tracking with periodic error compensated for.

Note: The Atlas EQ-G will continue to track in the PEC + sidereal mode until another tracking mode is selected. If the power is turned off while the Atlas EQ-G is in the PEC + side- real mode, the hand controller loses synchronization with the R.A. worm gear and the PEC training will have to be repeated when the power is turned back on. To avoid this, be sure to return the telescope to its home position by selecting “Park Scope” in the Utility Functions before turning off the power.
