Operations
The guiding aggressiveness of the RA or Dec axis can be increased or decreased with the direction buttons. Use the
RIGHT/LEFT buttons to adjust the RA aggressiveness and the UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the Dec aggressiveness.
If the NexGuide loses the guide star during autoguiding it will prompt “STAR LOST.” Press ESC to return to Preview
Mode and begin the auto calibration routine again.
To avoid creating any vibration that may interfere with guiding, place the control pad on a solid surface (such as your
accessory tray) so that it does not hang directly from NexGuide.
Suspend Autoguiding
The exposure on your astroimaging camera should be stopped before suspending autoguiding. Use the Guide/Stop
Menu to stop autoguiding.
The following diagram is what you will see in the GUIDING mode.
