The diagram on the right is a example of the LCD display.
a) (DX, DY) are the locked star’s offset to its original
locked position.
b) (X0, Y0) are the position of the center of the image in
sensor’s pixel matrix.
c) If the SynGuider lost the guide-star, it will wait until the
star re-appears, or user can press the ESC button to
return to PREVIEW mode.
AUTOGUIDING (GUIDING MODE)
Once the SynGuider is successfully locked onto a star, you may active guiding with the GUIDE
menu.
Activate Autoguiding
AUTO CAL: This is recommended when the telescope has been moved to a new object. It will
start an auto-calibration routine to detect the correct setting of the guiding parameters, including
the polarity of the control signals and the guiding aggressiveness. SynGuider will automatically
start autoguiding after the calibration is finished successfully.
RESUME: This is to resume previous autoguiding. SynGuider will skip the auto-calibration
routine and start autoguiding with the previous guiding parameters.
