AUTO SLEW ON / AUTO SLEW OFF

With AUTO SLEW ON enabled in the tour, Autostar II automatically slews the tele-

scope to objects first before displaying the text description. This feature is useful when

designing tours in which observing certain objects is required. For example: An

astronomy professor may require his students to observe six objects, four of which

Autostar II automatically slews to in a tour. The students would have to manually slew

to the last two objects. He would then place AUTO SLEW ON before his first required

object and AUTO SLEW OFF after the fourth object.

#END

To end a tour, type the command #END on a separate line at the very end of the tour.

Downloading Tours

Once a tour is written and stored as an ASCII file (saved either as a "text only" or "MS

DOS text" file), load it into Autostar II using the Autostar II Update Utility on your PC.

As tours are downloaded into the handbox, Autostar II examines the programming. If

it doesn't understand the terminology used within a tour, it flags questionable areas

and displays them in a pop-up window on your computer screen. Make the necessary

corrections and try to download again. See the instruction sheet with your

LX200

Interface Cable for more information about downloading data to and interfacing with

Autostar II.
