Autoguider and Telescope Controls 2 7. In the “FL IN MM” field (focal length in millimeters), type in the focal length, in millimeters, of your guide scope. 8. Locate a star using your telescope’s alignment and Go To procedures. Focus and prepare the imager as described earlier in this manual. You may now use the arrow keys (28) to center the object you have chosen. Click on an arrow to move in that direction at Guide Speed. Hold and drag on an arrow in the direction you wish to move to increase the speed. Hold and drag an arrow in the opposite direction to decrease speed. Release to stop. 9. If your telescope has motorized focus, use the focus button to focus on the object (only one focus speed is available). 10. Draw a tracking box around the star. 11. Click the Track Here button (the button then displays “Tracking”). Will Cal displays on the Calibrate button. 12. When you click on the Track Here button (you do not need to press the Will Cal button), the program begins to calibrate. It then begins to autoguide your telescope and displays X and Y error coordinates in the Status Display box (24). When the program is done calibrating, it will start tracking and a yellow circle will appear on your target object. 13. Click the Tracking button (the button then displays “Track Here” again) to stop tracking. If you don’t move your telescope or rotate the guider assembly, you do not need to recalibrate. However, if you wish to recalibrate, click on the No Cal button to force it to calibrate (which will then display “Will Cal”). The Track Last button will start tracking from where it was (the last tracking position) before it was stopped. 32
Other Features Autoguider and Telescope Controls 3 Center Target: Click Center Target to move the yellow circle to the center of the screen. The telescope models will follow (some telescopes will move more slowly than others). Set Target: Click Set Target and click on a position on the screen. The target will move to the this position. Corr (Correction) Gain: Sets how aggressive the correction operates. Default setting is 0.5. .01 is the lowest and 1.0 is the highest setting. If your telescope takes too long to reach to the yellow circle, increase the gain. If you telescope keeps overshooting the yellow circle, moving back and forth, decrease the gain. If the telescope never reaches the yellow circle, recalibrate: Click the Tracking and No-Cal buttons. Then click the Track button again. 33
