Troubleshooting:
Blank, featureless disk:
Ensure power is applied and LED is green.
Try moving focus in and out 3-4 complete revolutions of the grip.
Make sure a 25 to 40mm eyepiece (not included) is installed.
Ensure knob is pointing straight away from the power jack.
Check for droop, all connections must be tight and square.
Poor contrast:
Check that optical surfaces are clean. Dust specks do not affect
the view, check for smudges such as oil from fingerprints.
Try adjusting wing shift knob up 3-4 clicks clockwise past center
and wait 5-10 minutes. If that does not improve the view, try down 3-4
clicks below center and wait 5-10 minutes.
Atmospheric seeing or transparency may be poor, try again later.
Blurry image:
Blurry views are typically due to poor seeing. Poor seeing can
be caused by the presence of heat waves from concrete, asphalt, or
machinery. Weather effects like the jet stream can also cause blurring.
Try moving to a different location or else observe on a day when weather
conditions are improved.
Yellow LED indication:
Your filter is adjusting to the wavelength chosen by the knob.
Wait approximately 5-10 minutes for the temperature to adjust and then
light should turn green, indicating that the filter has settled to its required
temperature and is on band for viewing.
Yellow, never goes green LED indication:
If after 20 minutes of the same knob position setting the LED has
not turned green, the ambient temperature may be too hot or too cold for
the Scout to regulate the temperature. However, the filter may still be
usable while slightly mistuned and performance may not be affected.
This can also occur if plugged into a power supply with
insufficient current or voltage. Please use the provided AC adapter.
Red LED indication:
This usually indicates that the telescope is not receiving enough
voltage. If powered by battery, recharge the battery. Make sure to use
the supplied AC/DC wall adapter, as cell phone chargers and PC USB
ports do not have enough current capability for the telescope.
Red indication can also mean an electrical fault in the telescope
electronics. If power source changes do not resolve the red indication,
please return the telescope to DayStar for inspection and repair.
