* 2 ways to get a driving rate
* How to Hibernate
In summary, once the Celestron CGXL mount is setup, there are two relatively simple ways to garner active lunar and planetary driving rates.
One is to do the Planet Alignment, search Jupiter for example, and it will slew to Jupiter and continue driving.
Two, is to do a Quick Align, then search to proceed to Jupiter for drive continuance.
Hibernate Note
(for more complicated align procedures you may want to save the alignment) The manual states "Hibernate allows the telescope to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on." The manual says "Last Alignment" also serves as a good safeguard in case the telescope should lose power. The RTC Real Time Clock should be turned on in the Utilities Menu.
Utilities Menu - Scrolling through the MENU (9) options will also provide access to several advanced utility functions within the telescope such as; Calibrate Mount, Hibernate as well as many others.
Hibernate – Hibernate allows the telescope to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on This not only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescope permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long periods of time To place your telescope in Hibernate mode:
* Select Hibernate from the Utility Menu
* Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER
* Power off the telescope
* Never move the telescope manually while in Hibernate mode
Once the telescope is powered on again, the display will read Wake Up After pressing Enter, you have the option of scrolling through the time/site information to confirm the current setting Press ENTER to wake up the telescope.
