Menu IDENTIFY
This menu has two functions. First, it can be used to identify an object that you do not recognize. For example, if while
sweeping the sky you stumble across an unknown object, you can use this menu to find its name. Second, it can be used to
find another object close to the one you are currently observing. In either case the menu works the same.
You will need to enter two parameters when selecting an object. The first parameter is the object type or catalog, and the
second is the magnitude range. The following object types and catalogs are available:
•
NS
Object from Non-Stellar Catalog
•
ST
Star from catalog
•
GC
Globular cluster
•
OC
Open cluster
•
GX
Galaxy
•
PN
Planetary Nebula
•
NB
Nebula
•
2*
Double star
•
R*
Red or colored star
Use the ENTER, UP and DOWN buttons to enter and change these parameters. The hand control will display the object
you have in view. When you move the telescope, the hand control displays the objects as they come into view.
Menu TIMER
Included in the Ultima 2000 software is a timer mode that allows you to time images, photographs, eclipses, occultations,
etc. Operated by pressing ENTER, the timer works like a stopwatch and elapsed time is not affected by accessing other
modes.
Menu SETUP
This menu allows you to check the battery power, set the scroll rate, pick chart preference, set slewing rate and customize
certain user features. It also allows you to set the type of tracking—altazimuth, equatorial or terrestrial. Use the ENTER,
UP and DOWN buttons to change and enter preferences.
