RE: [guide-user] remote control of telescope - Guide 8

Elliott, Robert C. Feb 15, 2010

Hi Alferdo

When you click on "Add alignment star" you are telling Guide exactly where your telescope is pointed. Be carefull to have the star in the center of your image. There should not be any movement of your telescope.

Hello Bernd!

Thanks for your answer!


One more question:

- after I clicked on "add alignement star" have I to see some
movement? Because
'I do not know of any change or effect after this command!
Because it is an accuracy of position, is it right that I do not see any
movement?

Bye!
