The Advanced Series GT, computerized version of each telescope has a hand controller designed to give you instant
access to all the functions that your telescope has to offer. With automatic slewing to over 40,000 objects, and
common sense menu descriptions, even a beginner can master its variety of features in just a few observing sessions.
Below is a brief description of the individual components of the computerized hand controller:
1. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Window: Has a dual-line, 16 character display screen that is backlit for
comfortable viewing of telescope information and scrolling text.
2. Align: Instructs the telescope to use a selected star or object as an alignment position.
3. Direction Keys: Allows complete control of the telescope in any direction. Use the direction keys to move
the telescope to the initial alignment stars or for centering objects in the eyepiece.
