Goto Axis Position - Allows you to enter a specific altitude and azimuth position and slew to it.
Hibernate - Hibernate allows the NexStar to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on. This not
only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long
periods of time. To place your telescope in Hibernate mode:
1.
Select Hibernate from the Utility Menu.
2.
Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER.
3.
Power off the telescope. Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode.
Once the telescope is powered on again the display will read Wake Up. After pressing Enter you have the option of scrolling through the
time/site information to confirm the current setting. Press ENTER to wake up the telescope.

Sun Menu

For safety purposes the Sun will not be displayed as a database object unless it is first enabled. The enable the Sun, go to the Sun Menu and
press ENTER. The Sun will now be displayed in the Planets catalog as can be used as an alignment object when using the Solar System
Alignment method. To remove the Sun from displaying on the hand control, once again select the Sun Menu from the Utilities Menu and
press ENTER.

Scrolling Menu

This menus allows you to change the rate of speed that the text scrolls across the hand control display.
Press the Up (number 6) button to increase the speed of the text.
Press the Down (number 9) button to decrease the speed of the text.

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.

Wedge Align

The NexStar has two equatorial alignment modes (one for the northern hemisphere and one for the southern) that will help
you to polar align your telescope when using an optional equatorial wedge. See the Astronomy Basics section of the manual for more
information on the Wedge Align feature.
