Once you start to use an initialized HA, you must rotate the alidade to initialize the
HA every time you turn on the instrument. If you do this, you can maintain a fixed HA
orientation even if the instrument has moved while it is turned off.
If you tilt the telescope before you rotate the alidade, the horizontal angle is not
initialized, and the instrument uses the previous HA reading.
