Tips for Using Solar System Align

Once the telescope is aligned using Solar System
Align, you have the option of adding additional
alignment objects (either other planets or stars
from the Named Star Catalog) to improve pointing
accuracy . To add an alignment object:
1. Select the desired object from the Named Star
or Solar System database and slew to it .
2. Press the ALIGN button on the hand control .
3. The display will ask if you want to add an
alignment object or replace the existing one .
4. Select ADD to add the additional alignment
object . If an additional object has already been
added, then you have the option of replacing one
of the existing objects with the new object .
5. Carefully center the object in the eyepiece . Start
with coarse centering, press ENTER, then fine
center using the UP and RIGHT buttons, then
press ALIGN .
6. Press ALIGN to add the alignment object .

able to track without performing a full StarSense or
Solar System alignment .
