Go-To Slewing
The Go-To slewing to geographical features of the moon's surface is available in both SCOPE
MODE and CHART MODE by choosing the name of the location from the list or by choosing
places marked in numbers or letters on the moon map.
Pressing the key will switch the moon map to the non frame mode so that you can select
the target from the name list of the locations on right side of the moon map. Scrolling and
zooming of the moon map are disabled during this mode.
Note: Names marked ◎ are available for Go-To slewing as they are located above the horizon
but the terminator in phases of the moon is not considered.
As soon as you enter the moon map, it appears in frame mode. In
SCOPE MODE , select a place
you want to view on the moon map with using the zoom and direction keys. Mare Serenitatis
(Sea of Serenity) is a target here by way of example. Zooming in the moon map reveals detailed
geographical features of the moon's surface.
