- Launch your planetary software and
connect the Telescope with the
AvalonStarGo.NET.Telescope driver
7a
- Now the mount is roughly aligned with the
sky and the pointer will show the Celestial Pole.
In order to have a more accurate pointing,
further Sync are required.
IN CASE OF USE WITH STARGO AND PC
1
- Install the tripod, the mount and the setup
2
- Perform the telescope balancing and the
polar alignment
3
- Put the telescope in HOME position, CWD and
telescope pointing to the NORTH (SOUTH in case
of Southern emisphere)
4
- Connect the power cable to the StarGO
IN CASE OF USE WITH MOBILE DEVICES
5b
- Connect the device (tablet/smartphone) via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth to the StarGo.
The pairing operation must be already done and it is only required one time, see StarGo User
Manual starting from page 53 to page 56
6b
- Launch SkySafari and connect to the mount.
Since the mount alignment procedure (Sync Home Position) is not available on SkySafary and on other planetary app,
Avalon Instruments developed a solution to solve this missing important function. Simply perform the following steps.
7b
- Choose a star close to the Southern Meridian and to the Horizon, then perform a Sync on it,
without move the mount
from his Celestial Pole pointing.
In this way the StarGo use the Star position as a Sync Home Position and not as an Align.
8b
- Now the mount is roughly aligned with the Sky. The pointer will show the telescope position on the Celestial Pole,
where the mount is effectively pointed. In order to have a more accurate pointing, further Sync are required.
It is possible to find more detailed information about this important function on the StarGo User Manual, starting from page
57 to page 67.
The below images show the function performed with SkySafari but it also works with any other planetary app and PC softwares.
