Make sure that the R.A and DEC clamp levers on the AXJ mount are locked tightly.
Advance the “Initial Configuration” screen in the following procedure to display the telescope‘s
home position setting screen.

Choose OK with the or key in “Initial Configuration” and press the
key to display the
“Warning” screen for solar observation.

Then, choose “Confirm” with the or key and press the key to display the telescope home
position setting screen. Pressing the
key will return the screen to the initial setting menu
at this stage.

Your telescope is ready to slew to all directions as soon as the telescope‘s home position
setting screen is displayed on the screen.
The
and
direction keys move your telescope in the direction of the R.A. The and
direction keys on the right side of the STAR BOOK TEN move the telescope in the direction of
the DEC.
You can slew the telescope at different speeds through use of the direction keys.
Default slewing speed: 500x of the sidereal rate at a maximum
Note: If the slewing speed is set at level 3 or below in “System Menu”, the maximum available slewing
speed is restricted within 400x of the sidereal rate. For using other speed levels, refer to “Mount
Setting” section in Chapter 5.
In the telescope‘s home position setting screen, pressing either of the zoom keys on the left side of
the STAR BOOK TEN will quickly vary the maximum slewing speed. The upper key will decrease
the motor speed and the lower key will increase the motor speed. These keys are useful in SCOPE
MODE when you need a slow motion at high magnification or a quick motion at low magnification.
