Re-Alignment
The .SynScan
™
.has .a .re-alignment .feature .which .allows .you .to .replace .either .of .the .original .alignment .
stars .with .a .new .star .or .celestial .object. .This .can .be .useful .in .several .situations:
• . If .you .are .observing .over .a .period .of .a .few .hours, .you .may .notice .that .your .original .two .alignment .
stars . have . drifted . towards . the . west . considerably. . (Remember . that . the . stars . are . moving . at . a . rate .
of .15º .every .hour). .Aligning .on .a .new .star .that .is .in .the .eastern .part .of .the .sky .will .improve .your .
pointing .accuracy, .especially .on .objects .in .that .part .of .the .sky.
