Celestron NexStar 6 SE Bedienungsanleitung Seite 24

GET R.A./DEC: This option displays the right ascension and declination for the current position of the telescope
GOTO R.A./ DEC: This option allows you to input a specific R A and declination and slew to it
IDENTIFY: Identify Mode will search any of the NexStar+ database catalogs or lists and display the name and offset distances
to the nearest matching objects This feature can serve two purposes First, it can be used to identify an unknown
object in the field of view of your eyepiece
Additionally, Identify Mode can be used to find other celestial objects that are close to the objects you are currently
observing For example, if your telescope is pointed at the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, choosing Identify
and then searching the Named Star catalog will no doubt return the star Vega as the star you are observing However,
by selecting Identify and searching by the Named Object or Messier catalogs, the hand control will let you know that
the Ring Nebula (M57) is approximately 6° from your current position Searching the Double Star catalog will reveal
that Epsilon Lyrae is only 1° away from Vega To use the Identify feature:
• Press the Menu button and select the Identify option
• Use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons to select the catalog that you would like to search
• Press ENTER to begin the search
NOTE: Some of the databases contain thousands of objects and can therefore take a minute or two to return
the closest object.
PRECISE GOTO: The NexStar SE has a precise GoTo function that can assist in finding extremely faint objects and centering
objects closer to the center of the field of view for high power viewing or astrophotography Precise GoTo
automatically seeks out the closest bright star to the desired object and asks you to carefully center it in the
eyepiece The hand control then calculates the small difference between its GoTo position and its centered
position Using this offset, the telescope will then slew to the desired object with enhanced accuracy To use
Precise GoTo:
1 Press the MENU button and use the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons to scroll to Precise GoTo
Choose Database to select the object that you want to observe from any of the database catalogs listed or
choose RA/DEC to enter a set of celestial coordinates that you wish to slew to
2 Once the desired object is selected, the hand control will seek out and display the closest bright star to your
desired object Press ENTER to slew to the bright alignment star
3 Use the direction buttons to carefully center the alignment star in the eyepiece
4 Press ENTER to slew to the desired object
