1. Target Name: displays the name of the target that telescope is currently pointed to.
• Park Position: A default position when the mount is turned on, i.e., the telescope is
pointed to zenith (altitude reading is 90º) and the mount is facing south (azimuth reading
is 180º);
• An object name, such as “Mercury” or “Andromeda Galaxy”: Name of the Star or
celestial object currently that is currently slewing, gotoing or tracking;
• LandMark #: The telescope is working in Land mode and is pointing to a land mark #
(note: telescope does not track in land mode)
• User Position: The mount has been manually slewed to an object; or an R.A and DEC
value of an object was manually entered; or a goto or tracking process has been
interrupted.
2. Mount/GPS Status: display current status of the mount. If the mount equipped with a GPS
(integrated GPS receiver or external GPS module), it also indicates GPS status, when the
mount is turned on.
• Stop (Mount Status): the telescope is in a standby position;
• Slew (Mount Status): the telescope is manually slewing to the target;
• Goto (Mount Status): the telescope is going to the target;
• Track (Mount Status): the telescope is tracking a target;
• Align (Mount Status): the telescope is in align mode;
• G-ON (GPS Status): GPS is on and trying to lock on to a satellite (for mount with GPS
receiver);
• G-OK (GPS Status): The connection between GPS receiver and satellites has been
established (This status will be replaced by Mount Status after a few minutes).
3. R: Right Ascension of the telescope, or R.A.
4. D: Declination of the telescope, or DEC.
5. A: Altitude of the telescope (zenith is 90º).
6. Z: Azimuth of the telescope (north is 0º, east 90º, south 180º, and west 270º).
7. Local Date and Time: display local time in a format of YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
8. Slew speed: There are 5 speeds: 2X, 8X, 64X, 256X (1º/sec), MAX(~4º/sec). Press the
SPEED key to change the speed while slewing.
