CAUTION
Stop the Slewing Quickly
Slewing the Telescope to an Object near the Sun or to the Sun
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.
If you try slewing to an object near the Sun or to the Sun, the STAR BOOK TEN will alert you with a
dialog box: “Warning! Target is close to the Sun.” In the dialog box, choose OK with the or key
and press the
key to advance
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 telesco-
pe 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.
