the telescope will automatically slew to. One Star Align uses the same time/location information but only uses one star for
alignment.
Solar System Align will display a list of visible daytime objects (planets and the moon) available to align the
telescope.
Quick-Align will ask you to input all the same information as you would for the Auto Align procedure. However,
instead of slewing to the alignment stars for centering and alignment, the telescope bypasses this step and simply models the
sky based on the information given. Finally,
Last Alignment restores your last saved star alignment and switch position.
Last Alignment also serves as a good safeguard in case the telescope should lose power.

Before any of the described alignments are performed, the CGE needs to first index its switch position so that each axis has an
equal amount of travel to move in either direction.
Once the index position has been set, the hand control will display the last entered date and time information stored in the hand
control.
1. Press ENTER to begin the alignment process.
2. Press ENTER again to set the telescopes switch position. Press UNDO if you would like to manually move the
telescope to a different switch position. This is useful if using your scope with additional equipment attached and its
range of motion is limited.
3. The hand control will then display the last entered local time, time zone and date.
Use the Up/Down keys (10) to view the current parameters.
Press ENTER to accept the current parameters.
Press UNDO to enter current date, time and location information into the hand control. The following
information will be displayed:
Location - The hand control will display a list of cities to choose from. Choose the city from the database that is
closest to your current observing site. The city you choose will be remembered in the hand controls memory so that
it will be automatically displayed the next time an alignment is done. Alternatively, if you know the exact longitude
and latitude of your observing site, it can be entered directly into the hand control and remembered for future use as
well. To choose a location city:
Use the Up and Down scroll keys to choose between City Database and Custom Site. City Database will
allow you to select the closest city to your observing site from a list of either international or U.S. location.
Custom Site allows you to enter the exact longitude and latitude of your observing site. Select City Database and
press ENTER.
The hand control will allow you to choose from either U.S. or international locations. For a listing of U.S.
locations by state and then by city, press ENTER while
United States is displayed. For international
locations, use the Up or Down scroll key to select
Internationaland press ENTER.
Use the Up and Down Scroll buttons to choose your current state (or country if International locations was
selected) from the alphabetical listing and press ENTER.
Use the Up and Down Scroll buttons to choose the closest city to your location from the displayed list and
press ENTER.
Time - Enter the current local time for your area. You can enter either the local time (i.e. 08:00), or you can enter
military time (i.e.
20:00 ).
Select PM or AM. If military time was entered, the hand control will bypass this step.
Choose between Standard time or Daylight Savings time. Use the Up and Down scroll buttons (10) to toggle
between options.
Select the time zone that you are observing from. Again, use the Up and Down buttons (10) to scroll through
the choices. Refer to Time Zone map in Appendix for more information.
Date - Enter the month, day and year of your observing session.
Updating Your Location
- Since you may not need to update your observing location as often as the date and time, it
is not displayed each time you update the date and time. To update your city, press UNDO at any time when updating
your date and time. Continue to press UNDO to display the state, country or to add longitude/latitude coordinates
