The information given are
applicable to both equatorial
and alt-azimuth modes.
The large window on the
upper left
3.4b
shows
the current values of Right Ascension RA and Declination DEC
coordinates of the telescope.
The directional buttons
3.4c
on the middle right control the
movements of the telescope in RA and DEC. The large central
circular button immediately stops all movements in progress when
the mount is in operation.
The speeds at which the directional buttons operate the mount (System Speed) are chosen
using the buttons in the frame below the RA-DEC display.
The values of the system speeds are set in the RA DEC panel (see section 3.2.2). The
label above the buttons indicates the telescope pointing side (“Pier Side: East” or West”)
and the quality of the star alignment in terms of used stars out of 24 maximum.
