“Start Position” (HOMING) function description
In order to obtain a better pointing precision it is necessary that the alignment operations,
described in detail in the StarGO manual, are executed beginning from a Home position as
much as possible close to the ideal position, i.e. with the telescope axis aiming exactly to the
North Pole. Even if this operation is easily executable operating the telescope locally, just
aligning the axis reference notches to those printed in the mount, it becomes more difficult when
it is executed in remote.
Being this the first operation that is carried out just after the observatory startup, it will be start
with the telescope parked (i.e. in Park position) as defined during the observatory setup
operations.
The pressure of the HOMING button in the Tools frame will start the homonymous operation
and, if not already on, a warning window will be opened which asks the connection of the
peripherals interested to the operation to carry out.
Pressing Ok a second warning window will open asking the startup of the ASCOM driver (if not
already running).
