Slewing To An Object; Sky Tour Button - Celestron NexStar 6 SE Manual De Instrucciones

SLEWING TO AN OBJECT

NOTE: Never slew the telescope when someone is looking into the eyepiece. The telescope can move at fast slew speeds
and hit an observer in the eye.
Once the desired object is displayed on the hand control screen, you have two options:
• Press the OBJECT INFO button This will give you useful information about the selected object such as magnitude,
constellation and fascinating facts about many of the objects
• Press the ENTER button This will automatically slew the telescope to the object While the telescope is slewing, you can
still access many of the hand control functions, such as OBJECT INFO
NOTE: If you attempt to slew to an object below the horizon, the hand control will display a message that you have
selected an object outside of your slew limits (see Slew Limits on page 20).
• Press BACK to go back and select a new object
• Press ENTER to ignore the message and continue the slew The hand control will only display objects that are below the
horizon if the Filter Limits are set below 0º in altitude See Filter Limits in the Utility Feature section (page 20) for more
information on setting the filter limits
Object information can be obtained without doing a star alignment After the telescope is powered on, pressing the SOLAR
SYSTEM, STARS, or DEEP SKY button allows you to scroll through object lists or enter catalog numbers and view the
object information
