If you have a very good initial setup, one
star alignment should be sufficient for good
GOTO accuracy. To increase the accuracy
you may choose to do two star alignment.
5.6.2. Two Star Alignment
Two star alignment will increase the GOTO
accuracy of the mount. It is suggested to do
two star alignment after one star alignment.
Select “Two Star Align” in the Align menu.
Use ▲ or ▼ button to select a star and
press ENTER. The mount will slew to it
automatically. Use ◄ ► ▲ or ▼ key to
center the object in your eyepiece. Press
SPEED button to adjust the slew speed if
needed. Then press ENTER to complete
the alignment. After you finish the first star,
the system will prompt you to choose the
second star. Repeat the process to finish
the second star alignment. An “Align OK!”
screen will show briefly. To obtain a better
alignment effect, it is suggested to choose
two align stars far apart.
“Two Star Align” result will be overridden if
“One Star Align” or “Sync. to Target” is
performed after “Two Star Align.”
