Slewing the Telescope to an Object near the Sun or to the Sun
The movements of the telescope will pause if you press any of the keys (except the zoom keys) during the Go-To slewing. Use this option
stop the telescope quickly if the optical tube is about to hit something or if you want to cancel the ongoing slewing.
At the same time, the dialog box appears to confirm to continue the Go-To slewing.
Choose OK or Cancel with the or key, and press the key. Pressing OK will
continue the slewing again. Pressing Cancel will stop the slewing on the spot. Then, the
target will be cleared.
Pressing the key a little longer will switch between CHART MODE and SCOPE MODE alternately. In CHARTMODE , pressing the key a
little longer will make the star chart screen key change to SCOPE MODE and vice versa.
Stop the Slewing Quickly
When slewing to the object near the Sun, be careful not to have the Sun traverse the field
of view of your telescope. Never look directly at the sun with your naked eyes or through
the telescope. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. Make sure that the
finder scope is covered with the objective cap.
