Aligning the Celestron NexStar 90SLT Computerized Telescope is a crucial step to ensure accurate tracking of celestial objects. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Set up the telescope: Start by assembling the tripod and attaching the motorized mount to it. Make sure the tripod is stable and level.
2. Power on the telescope: Insert 8 AA batteries into the battery compartment or connect an optional AC adapter for power.
3. Choose an alignment method: The NexStar 90SLT offers three alignment methods: SkyAlign, Auto 2-Star Align, and Auto 1-Star Align. Choose the method that suits your preference and observing conditions.
- SkyAlign: This method is recommended for most users. It utilizes the built-in database of celestial objects to guide you through the alignment process.
- Auto 2-Star Align: This method is useful when you can only see a limited portion of the sky. It requires you to manually select two bright stars for alignment.
- Auto 1-Star Align: This method is the quickest but least accurate. It involves manually selecting one bright star for alignment.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions: Once you have chosen your alignment method, the computer hand control will guide you through the alignment process. It will prompt you to center stars or objects in the eyepiece and press the appropriate buttons.
5. Fine-tune the alignment: After completing the initial alignment, the telescope may ask you to center additional stars or objects to improve accuracy. Follow the on-screen instructions to fine-tune the alignment.
6. Confirm alignment: Once the alignment process is complete, the telescope should be accurately aligned with the celestial objects in the sky. You can now select objects from the database and the telescope will automatically track them.
