Telescope Operation Disclaimer
Robotic telescope mounts do not have an unlimited range of movement. The telescope’s shape, the
way it is mounted, or the addition of accessories can prevent it from pointing at particular parts of the
sky. If the telescope is forced past these points, the telescope, its mounting, or accessories might be
damaged.
TheSkyX Professional Edition
includes a “limit line” feature that lets you specify these inaccessible
positions;
TheSkyX Professional Edition
will try to prevent the telescope from entering or crossing them.
This feature is provided as a
convenience
, not as a panacea. Since any telescope can run into its
mechanical limits through accident, carelessness, or component failure, Software Bisque cannot be
responsible for any damage to your telescope that occurs when using
TheSkyX Professional Edition
to
control it.
Furthermore, Software Bisque cannot be held responsible for damage caused by plugging cables into
electronic devices. We strongly recommend turning off all electronic devices (computers, mobile
devices, telescopes, focusers, dew heaters, CCD cameras, etc.) before attaching any cabling or power
supplies.
Sun Warning
NEVER attempt to observe the Sun through your telescope!
Without a
specially designed solar filter, viewing the Sun – for even a fraction of a
second – will cause instant, irreversible eye damage. When observing
during the day, do not point the telescope near the Sun. Do not use
TheSkyX’s automatic slew feature to find objects during the day.
