Using the G53F
First time setup
If you are using the G53F for the first time or have replaced the Pulsar2
controller check the
Mount Parameters
in Pulsar2 (and see also the Pulsar2
manual). Lock the red knob in RA and check if the mount tracks westward, if
not change the
Rotation (mount parameters menu)
! If all is correct you will
want to do the automatic setup process which calculates the total reduction
and the encoder direction.
Insert the counterweight shaft and lock the axes by turning both red knobs
right until you hear a click. The mount is well balanced with the counterweight
shaft, remove any load from the telescope platform.
Correct position for running Red autoset
