8 3. GoToNova ® 8405 Hand Controller Figure 1. GoToNova 8405 Hand Controller GoToNova ® 8405 hand controller (HC) is the standard controller for a SmartStar R-80 telescope, as shown in Figure 1. 3.1. Key Description • MENU: Press “MENU” to enter the Main Menu.
9 Figure 2. 8405 Hand Controller LCD Information Screen 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.
10 4. Getting Started In order to experience the full GOTO capability of GoToNova technology it is important to set up the mount correctly before observation. 4.1. Level and Align the Mount 4.1.1. Level the Mount. Leveling is critical for good GOTO and tracking accuracy.
11 Press ENTER. Select “ Set Up Time and Site ” Press ENTER. The Set Local Time screen will show: Set local time : Use the ◄ or ► key to move the curs or, and the ▲ or ▼ button to change the numbers. Set daylight saving time: Use ▲ or ▼ button to toggle the DaylightTime Saving between Y and N.
12 For other parts of the world, time zone information can be found online, such as http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ . DO NOT COUNT DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. If your mount is equipped with a GPS receiver, only Daylight Time Saving and Time Zone settings are needed.
13 ► ▲ and ▼ keys to move the Moon in the center of your eyepiece and press ENTER. 4.3. Turn Off the Mount When finishing observing, always move the mount to Park Position. If the mount is not moved, no initial set up is needed when powered on the next time.
14 5. Use SmartStar ® R-80 5.1. Manual Operation of the Telescope You may observe land and astronomical objects using GoToNova’s arrow keys. After the telescope was assembled (referring to Section 2. Telescope Assembly), flip the ON/OFF switch on the telescope mount to the ON position.
15 5.2.9. Watch List Auto This function will set the mount automatically slew to all the objects listed in Watch List at a preset time interval. The time interval can be set to from 10 seconds to 1200 seconds by using ▼ or ▲ button. 5.3. Land Objects Up to 4 your favorite land objects can be stored in the hand controller.
16 • LCD Back Light. Use arrow keys to adjust LCD screen back light intensity. Press ENTER. • Keypad Backlight. Use arrow keys to adjust keypad backlight. Press ENTER. 5.5.2. Set Key Beep Turn the key beep on/off. 5.5.3. Set Azi Work Mode This function will set the mount azimuth mode while performing GOTO.
17 Select “Two Star Align” in the Align menu. Use ▲ or ▼ button to select a star and press ENTER. The mount will slew to it automatically. Use ◄ ► ▲ or ▼ key to center the object in your eyepiece. Press SPEED button to change the slew speed if needed.
18 The first line shows the number of the user object and if it is above the horizon. The second line shows the name of the user object, here is “BX”. The third line shows target’s current RA and DEC coordinates. The bottom line shows object’s altitude and azimuth position.
19 azimuth position. Use ◄ or ► move the cursor position and ▲ or ▼ key change the number to adjust the object you want to edit. Press ENTER when it is right. Follow the same procedure as “Add a new comet” to edit it. Press BACK to back to Modify Star Catalog menu.
20 6. Maintenance and Servicing 6.1. Maintenance The SmartStar ® R-80 telescope is a precision optical instrument designed to yield a lifetime of rewarding applications. Given the care and respect due any precision instrument, your telescope will rarely require factory servicing or maintenance.
21 • Using the battery? Are the batteries installed correctly? Are the batteries fresh? How long have they been used? (frequent slew and GOTO will deplete battery power very quickly) • Using AC or DC adapter? Check the plugs to the mount and to the power outlet.
