Summary of Contents for C11

Page 1: ... usually sufficient to point the tripod leg with the carrier for the hand terminal to the south Now put the electronic box on the tripod see figure 2 and fix it with three bolts see figure 3 2 Place the mechanics of the CGE PRO see figure 4 on the electronic box and fix it again with 3 three bolts see figure 5 Due to the heavy weight of the mechanics this step should be performed by two people Screw the c...

Page 2: ... it Before using the telescope you have to tare the rotation axes First lose the bolts fixing the 11 right ascension axis until you can freely move the telescope around this axis Now adjust the position of the counterweights such that there is no movement along this axis anymore Tighten the bolts again and repeat this procedure for the declination axis As there are no counterweights for this axis o...

Page 4: ...completely Start up The CGE PRO can simply switched on and off via the On Off switch at the electronic box In contrast to the OST the CGE PRO does not require any shutdown procedure It simply can be switched off After the boot of the mount it is almost always required to create a new alignment The following possibilities exist Two Star Align One Star Align Solar System Align Quick Align Last Alignme...

Page 5: ...ul especially for solar observations since one can directly use the Sun to create the alignment While the precision of the Solar System Alignment is lower than what one can achieve with an alignment procedure that is based on several stars it is usually sufficient for solar observations Before the Sun can be used as an alignment star it is required to allow the telescope to actually move to the Sun ...
