4.5. Star Identification Function
The 8407 hand controller has a star identification function. After Polar Alignment and Set Time &
Site, slew the telescope to a bright star manually or using the GOTO function. Press ? (Help) button to
identify the star that the telescope is pointing to, as well as nearby bright stars if there are any.
4.6. Turning Off the Mount
When you have finished your observation, just simply turn the mount power off and disassemble the
mount and tripod.
If the mount is set up on a pier or inside an observatory, it is recommended that you return the
mount to Zero Position or park the telescope. This will ensure that there is no need for you to perform the
initial setup again when you power on the mount subsequently with the mount not moved from the parked
position.
4.7. Putting the Mount Back into the Carrying Case
Make sure that the Gear Switches are fully engaged before removing the mount from the tripod. Lay
the mount into the carrying case. Turn the R.A. Gear Switch clockwise all the way in to disengage the
gear system for transportation.
