object. The very same object will be in the field of view of the telescope and now you 
can  proceed  to  its  observation.  In  the  process  of  guidance  from  the  object  to  the 
object,  the  accuracy  of  the  guidance  may  be  lost.    The  reason  for  this  may  be  the 
errors of the polar axis, errors in the  mechanics of the telescope, etc. Therefore, it is 
recommended to periodically tie the telescope on a visible star, as described above.

6.1. Follow steps 3.1, 3.2. 
6.2 Connect the control unit to the mount with the joystick of the manual control. 
6.3 After switching on the power,  beeps will sound, that indicates that the CS is ready 
for operation and  will begin tracking with a stellar speed. 
6.4 The switching speed of the mount is made using the joystick positions 
    Ra + and Ra- while holding down the Set button. Each speed selection 
    Is confirmed by a short sound signal according to the following scheme: 1 beep -stop, 
2 - siderial, 3 - lunar, 4 - solar speed. 
6.5 Switching speed correction of the mount is made with using the joystick positions 
Dec + and Dec- while holding down the Set button. Every choice speed is confirmed by 
a long sound signal according to the following scheme: 1 beep - x20, 2- x65, 3- x200, 4- 
x500.
