ONE-STAR ALIGN
One-Star Align requires you to input all the same information as you would for the Two-Star Align procedure However, instead
of slewing to two alignment stars for centering and alignment, the NexStar uses only one star to model the sky based on the
information given This will allow you to roughly slew to the coordinates of bright objects like the moon and planets and gives
the NexStar SE the information it needs to track objects in altazimuth in any part of the sky
One-Star Align is not meant to accurately locate small or faint deep-sky objects or to track objects accurately for
photography To use One-Star Align:
1 Once the telescope is powered on, use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons to select One-Star Align
Press ENTER
2 The hand control will display the last time and location information that was entered into the hand control Press ENTER
to accept the current information or press BACK to manually edit the information
for detailed instruction on entering time/site information)
3 The SELECT STAR 1 message will appear in the top row of the display Use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN
buttons to choose the star you wish to use as the first alignment star Press ENTER
4 The hand control will then prompt you to center the alignment star you selected Use the direction arrow buttons to slew
the telescope to the alignment star Carefully center the star in the finderscope Press ENTER
5 Then, center the star in the eyepiece Press ALIGN
6 Once in position, the NexStar SE will model the sky based on this information and display "Align Successful"
SOLAR SYSTEM ALIGN
Solar System Align is designed to provide excellent tracking and GoTo performance by using solar system objects (the Sun,
Moon and planets) to align the telescope with the sky Solar System Align is a great way to align your telescope for daytime
viewing and a quick way to align the telescope for basic nighttime observing
WARNING: Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar
filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
To perform a Solar System Align:
1 Once the telescope is powered on, use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons to select Solar System
Align Press ENTER
The hand control will display the last time and location information that was entered into the hand control Press ENTER
to accept the current information or press BACK to manually edit the information (see SkyAlign section on page 10
for detailed instruction on entering time/site information)
2 The SELECT OBJECT message will appear in the top row of the display Use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL
DOWN buttons to chose a Solar System object (a planet, the Moon, etc ) to use for alignment Press ENTER
3 The hand control will then prompt you to use the direction arrow buttons to slew the telescope to the alignment
object and carefully center it in the finderscope Press ENTER when centered
4 Then center the object in the eyepiece Press ALIGN
Once in position, the NexStar SE will model the sky based on this information and display "Align Successful "
