your state or country appears on the list, press ENTER.

information. See pages 28, 29 and 31 for more information.

You can now use the ARROW KEYS to slew (move) the
telescope up, down, right or left. Practice using the ARROW
KEYS to center objects in the eyepiece.
To change the speed at which the telescope moves (known
as the “slew” speed) press a NUMBER KEY from 1 through 9.
1 is the slowest speed and 9 is the fastest.
Make sure that the flip mirror control (K) is in the “Up” position,
as shown the diagram above.
