13. FAQ
a. GOTO is not precisely done.
 The synced star has to be exactly at the center of the eyepiece.

Check the polar alignment.
 Check whether there is error message displayed on TCS.
 If previous two are not the case, contact the manufacturer or the seller. Such
problem may occur due to the incorrect factory default setting such as gear
ratio.
b. Telescope moves toward wrong direction after GOTO.

Check the current date/time setting.

Check the observatory location data.
 Sync should not be done when telescope is located lower than the
counterweight.
TCS is programmed to sync when telescope is at higher position than the
weight.
If it is synced when the telescope is at lower position than the weight, it
recognizes the telescope to be at the opposite direction.

Sync again at proper position before using.

Check whether there is an error message displayed on TCS during GOTO
operation.

Make sure that the direction of rotation of the RA or DEC axis is correct.

Make sure that the RA and DEC cables are correctly connected.
 When malfunctioning continues, contact the manufacturer or the seller.
Such problem may occur when the direction of rotation of the RA and the
DEC axis is reversed.
c. GOTO takes too much time.
 For accurate pointing, it slows down near the target point.
Check the current coordinate values from OLED.
 Check whether the speed volume is at or near parking.
