SUN MENU: For safety purposes, the Sun will not be displayed as a database object unless it is first enabled The enable the
Sun, go to the Sun Menu and press ENTER The Sun will now be displayed in the Planets catalog as can be
used as an alignment object when using the Solar System Alignment method To remove the Sun from displaying
on the hand control, once again select the Sun Menu from the Utilities Menu and press ENTER
CALIBRATE GOTO: GoTo calibration is a useful tool when attaching heavy visual or photographic accessories to the telescope
GoTo Calibration calculates the distance and time it takes for the mount to complete its final slow GoTo when
slewing to an object Changing the balance of the telescope can prolong the time it takes to complete the final
slew GoTo Calibration considers any slight imbalances and changes the final GoTo distance to compensate
SET MOUNT POSITION: The Set Mount Position menu can help you recover an alignment in cases where the telescope or tripod
has been manually moved For instance, you might use this feature if you need to adjust the level of the
tripod by raising or lowering the tripod legs After the mount has been moved, simply slew to a bright star
and center it in the eyepiece, then select Set Mount Position from the Utilities menu Since the telescope
has been moved, the pointing accuracy will be diminished, but now you can slew to a new set of alignment
stars and replace any of the original alignment stars with new stars This will help you avoid having to start
the alignment process over from the beginning
USER OBJECTS: The NexStar SE can store over 100 different user-defined objects in its memory The objects can be daytime
land objects or an interesting celestial object that you discover that is not included in the regular database
There are several ways to save an object to memory depending on what type of object it is
GOTO SKY OBJECT: To go to any of the user-defined objects in the database, scroll down to or enter the number of the object
you wish to view, and press ENTER The NexStar SE will automatically retrieve and display the coordinates
before slewing to the object
SAVE SKY OBJECT: The NexStar SE stores celestial objects to its database by saving its right ascension and declination in the
sky This way, the same object can be found each time the telescope is aligned Once a desired object is
centered in the eyepiece, simply scroll to the "SAVE SKY OBJ" command and press ENTER The display
will ask you to enter a number between 1-99 to identify the object Press ENTER again to save this object
to the database
SAVE DATABASE (DB) OBJECT: This feature allows you to create your own custom tour of database objects by allowing you to record
ENTER R.A./DEC: You can store a specific set of coordinates for an object just by entering the R A and declination for that
object Scroll to the "ENTER RA-DEC" command and press ENTER The display will then ask you to enter
the R A first, and then the declination for your object
SAVE LAND OBJECT: The NexStar SE can be used as a spotting scope on terrestrial objects Fixed land objects can be stored by
saving their altitude and azimuth relative to the location of the telescope at the time of observing Since these
objects are relative to the location of the telescope, they are only valid for that exact location To save land
objects, center the desired object in the eyepiece Scroll down to the "SAVE LAND OBJ" command and
press ENTER The display will ask you to enter a number between 1-9 to identify the object Press ENTER
again to save this object to the database
GOTO LAND OBJECT: To go to any of the user-defined objects stored in the database, scroll to GoTo Land Obj, enter the number
of the object you wish to select, and press ENTER The NexStar SE will automatically retrieve and display
the coordinates before slewing to the object
To replace the contents of any of the user-defined objects, simply save a new object using one of the
existing identification numbers; NexStar SE will replace the previous user-defined object with the new one

the current position of the telescope and save the name of the object by selecting it from any one of
the database catalogs You can then access these objects by selecting GoTo Sky Object
