Once the telescope has been aligned. You can now access and view the 42,900 different objects
in the SynScan
TM
database. There are three methods of selecting a celestial object to view:
TOUR - Takes you on a preset tour across your current sky. It
will automatically choose from the database the brightest and
most beautiful deep-sky objects for your viewing pleasure. Use
the scroll keys to view through the deep sky objects. Choose the
desired object by pressing ENTER. It will show the coordinate of
the chosen object. Use the scroll keys to view other information
such as magnitude, size and constellation. Pressing ENTER
once more will cause the telescope to slew to the object.
M, NGC, IC - These shortcut keys give you access to the most
popular celestial catalogues to date. Each Catalog has a set
number of objects to choose from. Use the numeric keys to
select an object by entering its number. Pressing ENTER will
display its coordinate. Primary information such as size,
magnitude, and constellation are obtained by pressing the scroll
keys. Pressing ENTER once more will cause the telescope to
slew to the object.
PLANET - This shortcut key takes you straight to the Planets
sub menu in the database. Use the scroll keys to scroll through
the list of planets in our solar system. Press ENTER to view its
coordinates, and ENTER once more to slew to the planet.
USER - This will take you to the database that you have defined
for yourself. You can enter a new location or recall the objects
that have been previously saved (see Using the User Defined
Database).
The OBJECT key takes you to the Objects Catalogue, where
you have complete access to over 42,900 celestial objects in the
database. (See Object database in the SynScan
TM
AZ and the
menu tree.)
In the Main Menu, scroll down to OBJECT CATALOG and press
ENTER. Similar to the OBJECT key, this gives you the complete
access to all 42,900 celestial objects in the database. (See
Object database in the SynScan
TM
