One-Star Alt/Az Alignment
One-Star Alignment requires some knowledge of the
night sky. Autostar provides a database of bright stars.
One-Star Alignment is identical to Two-Star Alt/Az:
Alignment (see “Two-Star ALT/AZ Alignment,” above),
except only one star from this database is chosen by
the observer for alignment.
IMPORTANT NOTE : The accuracy of One-
Star Alt/Az Alignment, unlike the Two-Star and
Easy (Alt/Az) Alignment procedures, depends
on how well the observer levels the telescope
and how close to North the telescope is pointed
when setting the Home Position (Pg. 9, Fig. 6).
Because the other methods use two stars to
align upon, they are more precise than One-
Star Alignment.
Browse
This menu allows you to search the database for objects
with certain parameters, much like a search engine.
“Edit Parameters” lets you set various parameters for
the search, and “Start Search” activates the search. A
typical search might be performed as follows:
1. Select “Browse” from the Object menu. Press
ENTER. “Browse: Start Search” displays.
2. Press one of the Scroll Keys and “Browse: Edit
Parameters” displays. Press Enter.
3. “Edit Parameters: Largest (mins)” displays.
“Mins” stands for arc-minutes. Press ENTER.
