How to Perform a Two Star Alignment of the Meade LX90GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

Using "Easy Align" is the most efficient way of locating objects using Autostar's "GO TO" capabilities. Autostar will choose two stars for its database and then slew the telescope to a first alignment star. Once the viewer indicates that the star is in the center of the eyepiece, the telescope repeats the process with a second star.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. After performing the initialization procedure with Autostar, press "Enter" when you see "Setup Align" on the display.
   
   
2. Press "Enter" when you see "Align Easy" on the display.
   
   
3. Now your telescope will automatically set "True North," "North," "level" and "home."
   
   
4. Now the telescope will slew to the brightest star in the sky. Use the arrow keys if the star is not centered in the eyepiece and press Enter. Perform this procedure again for the second star.
   
   
5. "Alignment Successful" will now be displayed.
   
   

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure that you have initialized Autostar before aligning the telescope.
• If you do not get the "Alignment Successful" message in step 5, repeat step 4.
• The alignment star will likely change on a nightly basis.
