Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope
at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
Train the telescope motors using AutoStar II. Perform this procedure if you are experiencing any pointing accuracy
problems. Fig. 41 depicts the complete Drive Training procedure.
Note:
Use a terrestrial object, such as a telephone pole or lamp post, to train the drive. Complete this exer-
cise once every 3 to 6 months to maintain the highest level of telescope pointing accuracy.
