SKY-WATCHER SynScan Tour, Instruction Manual

Page: 26 / 69

In Sensor mode, SynScan Tour uses its internal sensor to update the
sky map displayed. The map will update in real-time to show the area
of sky located directly behind the display screen. This is the Hop
Mode that will typically be used when you are outside with SynScan
Tour at night.
In any of the Hop Modes, pressing the scroll wheel down places
SynScan Tour into its “locked mode”. The star map will freeze its
current display, and will no longer synchronize with the internal
sensor or any connected telescope. You can still use the scroll wheel
to zoom in-and-out of the sky map, but the display will remain
centered on its locked position. A cursor will be displayed onscreen.
Use the direction keys to move the cursor onto a celestial object, and
you can access multimedia files associated with the selected object.
You can also select a celestial object in locked mode by simply
touching it onscreen.
In Keypad mode, the directional keys on the keypad select the area
of sky to be displayed. The left and right keys are used to change the
view horizontally, while the up and down keys are used to change
the view vertically. This is the Hop Mode you will usually use when
perusing the sky map while indoors.
Telescope mode is used when SynScan Tour is connected to a
telescope mount. In this mode, the sky map display synchronizes to
the location in the sky where the telescope is currently pointing.
