For 8 minutes, the EQ6 SkyScan
TM
hand control records the manual guiding actions in
order to characterize the periodic errors. Pressing ESC will stop the recording
immediately and exit from the PEC training function.
Play back the PEC record
PEC tracking can be activated under the Setup Menu or pressing the SETUP quick reference
hotkey on the keypad. In the Setup Menu, choose Set Tracking, then PEC+Sidereal. EQ6
SkyScan
TM
will play back the corrections you made during the PEC training cycle and start tracking
with periodic error compensated.
The EQ6 SkyScan
TM
will display "Record completed" when 8 minutes is up. Press any
key to exit from the PEC training.
Guiding actions are recorded even when the PEC training is stopped midway. In this
case, the PEC+Sidereal tracking will not be accurate until a full cycle of the PEC
training is performed.
The EQ6 SkyScan
TM
will continue to track in the PEC+Sidereal mode until another
tracking mode is selected. If the power is turned off while the EQ6 SkyScan
TM
is under
the PEC+Sidereal mode, the hand control loses synchronization with the R.A. worm
gear and the PEC Training will have to be performed again when the power is turned
back on. To avoid this, be sure to return the telescope to its home position by selecting
PARK SCOPE
under the
UTILITY FUNCTIONS
before turning off the power.
