The CPC can locate all 8 of our solar systems planets plus the Sun and
Moon. However, the hand control will only display the solar system

The CPC has four direction buttons (3) in the center of the hand control
which control the telescope’s motion in altitude (up and down) and

Pressing the RATE key (11) allows you to instantly change the speed
rate of the motors from high speed slew rate to precise guiding rate or
anywhere in between. Each rate corresponds to a number on the hand
controller key pad. The number 9 is the fastest rate (3º per second,

slowest rate (.5x sidereal) and can be used for accurate centering of

the LCD display to indicate that the rate has been changed.
The hand control has a “double button” feature that allows you to
instantly speed up the motors without having to choose a speed rate.
To use this feature, simply press the arrow button that corresponds to
the direction that you want to move the telescope. While holding that
button down, press the opposite directional button. This will increase the
slew rate to the maximum slew rate.
