STEP 4. Set the Location Latitude
This step requires you to know the latitude of your current location. This can be found from your
8406 hand controller after the embedded GPS receives the signal from the satellites. It also can be easily
found on the Internet, with your GPS navigator or a GPS capable cell phone. You will have to change this
latitude setting every time you significantly change your night sky viewing location.
