DIRECTION BUTTONS

The NexStar SE has four direction arrow buttons in the center of the hand control that control the telescope motion in altitude
(up and down) and azimuth (left and right) The telescope can be controlled at nine different speed rates

2 = 1x
3 = 4x
4 = 8x
5 = 16x

MOTOR SPEED BUTTON

Pressing the MOTOR SPEED button allows you to instantly change the speed of the motors from a high-speed slew
rate to a precise guiding rate and anywhere in between Each rate corresponds to a number on the hand control keypad
The number 9 is the fastest rate and is used for slewing between objects and locating alignment stars The number 1 on
the hand control is the slowest rate ( 5x sidereal) and can be used for accurate centering of objects in the eyepiece To
change the speed rate of the motors:
• Press the MOTOR SPEED button on the hand control The LCD will display the current speed rate
• Press the number on the hand control that corresponds to the desired speed
The hand control has a "double button" feature that allows you to instantly speed up the motors without having to choose
a speed rate To use this feature, simply press the arrow button that corresponds to the direction that you want to move
the telescope While holding that button down, press the opposite directional button This will increase the speed to the
maximum slew rate
