Although there is an "Audio Capture"
setting in the "Options" menu, this menu
is disabled. Your camera has been
optimized for astronomical photos and
does not record any audio.
Looking at or near the Sunwill cause irreversibledamage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.

: While you capture a snapshot or
video of a celestial object, you will notice
the object, you are imaging will drift
across the screen. This is due to the
Earth's rotation—you are in fact taking
photos on a "moving platform." You will
need to

move the telescope up and
down and from side to side to
compensate for the drift. Practice moving
the telescope and you will become adept
at recentering objects in no time.
If you wish to capture another video, make
sure you go back to the File menu and select
"Capture File" again. If you do not, the
program will overwrite your original capture
if you start recording again.
