TWO-STAR ALIGN
With the Two-Star Align method, the LCM requires the user to know the names and positions of two bright stars in order to accurately
align the telescope with the sky and begin finding objects Here is an overview of the Two-Star Align procedure:
1 . Once the LCM is powered on, use the Up and Down scroll keys to select Two-Star Align, and press ENTER
2 . Press ENTER to accept the time/site information displayed on the screen, or press UNDO to enter new information
3 . The SELECT STAR 1 message will appear in the top row of the display Use the Up and Down scroll keys to select the star you wish to use
for the first alignment star Press ENTER
4 . The LCM then asks you to center in the eyepiece the alignment star you selected Use the direction arrow buttons to slew the telescope to
the alignment star and carefully center the star in the finderscope Press ENTER when centered
5 . Then, center the star in the eyepiece and press ALIGN In order to accurately center the alignment star in the eyepiece, you may wish to
decrease the slew rate of the motors for fine centering. This is done by pressing the MOTOR SPEED key on the hand controller then
selecting the number that corresponds to the speed you desire. (9 = fastest, 1 = slowest).
6 . The LCM will then ask you to select and center a second alignment star and press the ALIGN key It is best to choose alignment stars that
are a good distance away from one another Stars that are at least 40º to 60º apart from each other will give you a more accurate alignment
than stars that are close to each other
Once the second star alignment is completed properly, the display will read "Align Successful", and you should hear the tracking motors
turn on and begin to track
