Alignment Stars - Celestron NexStar 6 SE Manual De Instrucciones

EQ TWO-STAR ALIGN
The EQ Two-Star Align follows most of the same steps as the alt-az
Two-Star Align This alignment method does not require the user to
align the altitude index markers or point towards the meridian, but
it does require the user to locate and align the telescope on two
bright stars When selecting alignment stars, it is best to choose
stars that:
• Have a large separation in azimuth AND
• Are either both positive or both negative in declination
Following these two guidelines will result in a more accurate EQ
Two-Star alignment
EQ ONE-STAR ALIGN
EQ One-Star Align operates much the same way as EQ Two-Star Align However, it only relies on the alignment of a single star
to align the telescope
EQ SOLAR SYSTEM ALIGN
EQ Solar System Align allows you to use only one Solar System object to equatorially align the telescope for daytime use
