How do I attach the telescope to the tripod?
Place the entire telescope onto the top of the tripod head, inserting the threaded rod into the central hole in the bottom of the drive base. Tighten the tension knob firmly to secure the tripod legs.
What is the purpose of the Autostar II Hand Controller?
The Autostar II Hand Controller enables you to control virtually every telescope function, including automatically slewing to any of the 145,000+ objects in its library, taking guided tours, and aligning the telescope automatically using GPS.
How do I change the slew speed of the telescope using Autostar II?
To change the telescope’s slew speed, press the 'Speed' key on the Autostar II handbox and then press a number key from '1' (slowest) to '9' (fastest).
How do I focus the telescope?
