Calibrate Goto
Goto Calibration is a useful tool when attaching heavy visual or photographic accessories to the telescope. Goto Calibration
calculates the amount of distance and time it takes for the mount to complete its final slow goto when slewing to an object.
Changing the balance of the telescope can prolong the time it takes to complete the final slew. Goto Calibration takes into
account any slight imbalances and changes the final goto distance to compensate.
Set Mount Position
The Set Mount Position menu can be used to recover an alignment in cases where the telescope or tripod has been manually
moved. For instance, you might use this feature if you needed to adjust the level of the tripod by raising or lowering the tripod
legs. After the mount has been moved, simply slew to a bright star and center it up in the eyepiece, then select Set Mount
Position from the Utilities menu. Since the telescope has been moved, the pointing accuracy will be diminished. But now you
can slew to a new set of alignment stars and replace any of the original alignment stars with the new stars. This will help you to
avoid having to start the alignment process over from the beginning.
