If the mount equipped with an external GPS module, it also indicates GPS status, when the mount is turned on. • Land (Mount Status): the telescope is at a standby position or observing a land object; • Sola (Mount Status): the telescope is tracking an object in Solar system at a solar[...]

12 or 2. Turn the mount power on. Press the SPEED button to select a slew speed (MAX for fast slew and 2X for fine tuning). Turn the SOUTH mark pointing to south using ► or ◄ button. An additional compass may needed. Rotate the telescope point to the zenith using ▲ or ▼ button. A torpedo level may help. Then turn the mount power off and tur[...]

13 time zone). Enter minutes “ahead of” or “behind” UT (universal time). The minimum time difference is 60 minutes. • New York City is 300 minutes “behind” UT • Los Angeles is 480 minutes “behind” UT • Rome is 60 minutes “ahead of” UT • Beijing is 480 minutes “ahead of” UT • Sydney is 600 minutes “ahead of” UT [...]

14 telescope section). Tighten all lock knobs (Declination, Latitude, Right Ascension, Horizontal Axis) so that telescope’s aim is not disturbed. 2.
