Permanently Mounted Scopes
For permanently mounted telescopes, it is not necessary to have more than one
model unless the weight and balance of auxiliary equipment introduces balance or
flexure changes that significantly affect pointing.The best practice is to train the Smart
Mount and then run a couple of sessions with Update enabled. Thereafter, simply
leave Smart Mount On as the installation default.
Other Menus Options
Save As and Load
The Smart Mount system allows you to save several models you have created
(see T
RAINING on the previous page) using the Save As command. Choose which
model will be the “Current Model” using the Load command.
Update
The Update mode allows you to update training for the current model you have
enabled. You will sync on several stars as previously described, which will further
refine the pointing of your telescope. Save your model after running in update mode,
otherwise the update will be lost when the telescope is powered off.
On
Load a model from memory (see S
AVE AS AND LOAD above) and then Select Smart On.
When Smart Mount is “On”, the telescope will use the currently loaded model to refine
you telescope’s pointing, but will not update the model (see S
MART MOUNT UPDATE
above). If Smart Mount was “On” when you last powered off your telescope, it will be
“On” when you start the next session.
Off
When Smart Mount is “Off”, the telescope will not use any model you have created to
refine pointing accuracy.
Erase
The Erase command clears the Current Smart Mount table values to allow a new
model to be created.
Delete
The Delete command allows you to delete any model from memory. To delete a
model, just scroll through the names and select the model to you wish to delete and
press ENTER.You will be asked to confirm your choice. Press ENTER again and it will
be removed from memory.
