Thanks! I managed to connect and control the telescope, but due to
unfavorable weather conditions I did a test with the approximate function
"one star align" or " automatic two stars allign" ; necessarily i need to
stake a star in heaven or can i simply use the command: " automatic
alignment of the telescope with two stars"? I have clicked on "slew
telescope" by checking "Guide"! When I click on Slew Guide i get this
answer "position unread! Maybe I'm wrong!?
Finally, I use only GUIDE the last entry below ( there are 4 entries - slew
, find , enter, guide - ). Can i also use the other commands CENTER, FIND
or SLEEW and how?

I hope that I explained clearly!

Bye!
