time and location for

you.

automatically skips

those stars below the

horizon of your current

time and location.

0.3 Getting Started

For most beginner users who may not need a lot of

astronomical detail this chapter gives just enough information

to set up the controller. After the easy-to-follow setup you will

be ready to point your telescope to wherever you want in the

night sky.

After assembling the telescope [Refer to our Assembling

Chart] turn on the power button located on the mount. You will

see the iOptron logo displayed for a few seconds. Then you

will see the zero position screen. By default, it works in Alt-Az

mode:

TR.A. 1h36m 2s

TDEC 90°0’ 0”

R.A. 19h52m 5s

DEC 47°31’16” 64X

Lgst 7h52m38s Stop

Alt. 0°0’ 0”

Azi. 0°0’ 0”

2007-07-10 14:25:23 N

When the power is turned on, you will see “G_ON” (GPS

turned on) on the upper right corner of the screen. In about a

minute, after the internal GPS communicate with the

satellites, you will see “G_OK” on the screen, both time and

location are automatically set.

Press MENU button, then you will see this screen:

www.iOptron.com

TIP:

Spend some time

familiarizing yourself

with these bright stars in

the night sky

direct you to any location in the night sky (provided that the

object is in the database and above the horizon). Simply

choose any object in the menu and press ENTER. Although

not required, we strongly suggest that you double check your

initial alignment with additional bright objects in the night sky,

For example, in the menu, select “Venus” (if it is indeed in the

sky) and press ENTER. When the motor stops check to see if

Venus is in the center of your eye piece. If your previous

steps were correct, it should be. You may need to make some

minor adjustments to center the object. Otherwise, use “two-

star align”.

What’s Next?

Most beginner users are now ready to explore the night sky

without needing to refer to the manual any further. The

function you will need most is “Select and slew” in the main

menu. From there you can select and explore planets, stars,

galaxies, nebulae, comets, asteroids, etc.-- virtually all of the

most common celestial objects are included.
