MEADE AUTOSTAR ETX 70 USER MANUAL MANUAL
Manual Operation of the Telescope Using Autostar's Arrow Keys.11Manual Operation of the Telescope without Autostar.9Join an Astronomy Club Attend a Star Party.Tour the Cosmos with Just the Push of a Button.5ETX:Your Personal Window to the Universe.IMPORTANT NOTE: To use the Landmark function, the telescope must be located and aligned exactly as when the landmark was added to the database.Additionally, the telescope needs to be mounted in the same configuration, i.e., Alt/Az or Polar.
Landmarks stores the location of terrestrial points of interest in the permanent Autostar database. Use the Landmark Survey option in the Utilities menu to sequentially view all Landmarks entered into Autostar.
See "APPENDIX B," page 33, for more information. User Objects allows the user to define deep-sky objects of specific interest that are not cur- rently in the Autostar database. Satellite is a database of Earth-orbiting objects such as the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, Iridium, Global Positioning System satellites, and geosynchronous orbit satellites. Star is a database of stars listed in different categories such as named, double, variable, or nearby. Deep Sky is a database of objects outside our Solar System such as nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and quasars. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the list of stars in the constellation, from brightest to dimmest. Press GO TO a second time to slew the telescope to that star. When this menu option is chosen and a constellation name appears on the first line of the screen, press GO TO once to change the second line to the name of the brightest star in the constel- lation. Constellation is a database of all 88 Northern and Southern Hemisphere constellations. The Object Menu functions include: Solar System is a database of the eight planets (Earth is not included) in order out from the Sun, followed by the Moon, asteroids, and comets. When one of these objects is selected, Autostar moves your telescope (if properly aligned) and points it at the selected object. An Autostar database is a list of viewable objects, such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae and so forth. Many Autostar menu categories contain databases. Also see “USING THE GUIDED TOUR,” page 15. ) See “GO TO SATURN,” page 15, for an example of observing using the Object menu. ( NOTE: Exceptions include Guided Tour and Landmark Survey. Object Menu Almost all observing with Autostar is performed using the Object menu category.
