Handbook for the Starlight Xpress AOL unit Issue 1 21/5/2010
General pointers:
When the AO unit is first attached to the telescope, it is necessary to arrange the off-axis
guide camera, or the STAR2000 camera, so that the East – West AO axis is parallel to the
long axis of the guide image. This is easily done by viewing the guider or camera chip
through the front of the AO window. Hold the AO unit so that the two RJ11 sockets are
at the bottom and ensure that the guider chip is visible as a horizontal rectangle as seen in
the off-axis prism. A STAR2000 camera chip should also appear as a horizontal rectangle
in this view.
